ALL PURCHASES COME WITH SCORE AND PARTS1992 – The Mini Concerto For Alex, for solo cello (about grade 6 or 7) and school orchestra was commissioned in 1992 by Ibstock Place School for a talented young cellist, Alex Hunt, who was a student at the school at the time.  The Head of the school’s music department was Chris Artley, who was a marvelous support to me, throwing my way many wonderful opportunities or orchestrate for the Ibstock Place orchestra. The Mini Concerto For Alex is just one example. Chris is now a very successful composer living and working in New Zealand!Duration: approx. 10 minutes.In one movement, this piece is light in character and great fun for a school orchestra with a young, aspiring cellist.There are two Arrangements;No.1 – For Solo Cello and School Orchestra.Instrumentation as follows: 1st Flute2nd Flute1st Bflat Clarinet2nd Bflat Clarinet3rd Bflat Clarinet1st Alto Saxophone2nd Alto Saxophone1 Trumpet in Bflat2 TimpaniSide Drum(brushes and sticks)Sleigh BellsTambourineMaraccasCymbals(crash and suspended)TriangleWind ChimesGlockenspeilPianoKeyboard(strings and celesta sounds)*Solo CelloViolin 1Violin 2Violin 3ViolasCellosDoubles BassesNo.2 – For Solo Cello and PianoThere is a choice of 2 cadenzas: The first one is fairly easy and the second one is for the more advanced soloist.

Cello,Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1119145 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Ander. Baroque,Christmas,Easter,Sacred,Wedding. Score and part. 4 pages. Woods Only, Arrangements #720561. Published by Woods Only, Arrangements (A0.1119145). This easy arrangement for violoncello and piano was written to be uncomplicated to perform and understand the structure of the piece. It can be freely played by beginning students, because of the ease imposed on the piece; however, this does not prevent it from being played by professionals and music teachers. It is also ideal for academic recitals, student method and ceremonies that are arranged in the same way as the piece contains. The original piece is part of Johann Sebastian Bach's Suite No. 3 for orchestra, in D Major, BWV 1068, written for Prince Leopold of Anhalt. The so-called Air on the G String dates from one of these latter employments. In the service of the Prince of Cöthen, Bach composed not only the famous Brandenburg Concertos, but also several orchestral suites, from the third of which comes the Air on the G String. This curious title derives from a later arrangement of this piece for violin solo, in which the melody is played entirely on the lower, higher string of the instrument.

Cello and piano - intermediate to advanced - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q53290 Op. 40. Composed by Auguste Joseph Franchomme. Edited by Beverley Ellis and Rainer Mohrs. This edition: Sheet music. (c) 2020 Schott Music GmbH & Co. KG, Mainz. Classical. Downloadable. Op. 40. 16 pages. Schott Music - Digital #Q53290. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q53290). English • German.Auguste Joseph Franchomme was born in Lille on 10.4.1808; he died in Paris in 1884. One of his first cello teachers in Lille was Pierre Baumann, who also taught Edouard Lalo. Giving up the study of Law in favour of the cello, he studied with Jean-Henri Levasseur and Louis-Pierre Norblin from 1825 at the Paris Conservatoire. After that he played in various orchestras until he was eventually able to establish himself as a soloist and chamber musician in Paris. Together with violinist Jean-Delphin Alard he founded the Alard Quartet, one of the few string quartets of the time whose members were all professional musicians. Alongside his concert career, Franchomme was a popular and successful professor at the Conservatoire for almost forty years. His compositions include numerous pieces and studies for the cello, a cello concerto and many transcriptions. Franchomme was a close friend of Chopin: he also composed the cello part to Chopin’s Duo concertante and reworked the cello part for the Polonaise Brillante. Chopin dedicated his Cello Sonata op. 65 to Franchomme. Chopin’s influence is clearly recognisable in Franchomme’s work and particularly evident, for example, in his Étude in C# minor op. 35/11. In 1884 Franchomme was awarded the Légion d’honneur for his services to music. This Fantaisie based on themes from Mozart’s Magic Flute was published in 1873 (plate no. 20425).
