{"product_id":"alfred-publishing-martin-joanne-more-folk-strings-cello-ensemble-305376","title":"Martin Joanne - More Folk Strings - Cello Ensemble","description":"\u003ch3\u003eSummary of This Score\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore Folk Strings is a collection of folk songs and melodies from various countries, gathered to enrich the repertoire of string players. Each piece highlights harmonic colors and rhythmic patterns representative of its origin, making it an excellent choice for developing listening skills, style, and musical culture within an ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of More Folk Strings' strengths lies in its \u003cstrong\u003eflexible scoring\u003c\/strong\u003e : the work can be used in multiple configurations, facilitating the organization of lessons, workshops, and auditions. From duos to larger groups, it becomes possible to form a coherent ensemble even when the lineup varies from session to session, or when students do not all play the same instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe progressive aspect is also present: some pieces are simpler than others, and the \u003cstrong\u003emelody\u003c\/strong\u003e parts are designed to remain accessible so that less advanced musicians can carry the theme. In the version intended for string quartet or string orchestra, the melody circulates between sections, allowing each musician to \"take the lead\" in turn. The scores and parts clearly indicate the \"melody\" and \"harmony\" roles to help the ensemble balance the sound and bring out the theme at the right moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the work fully supports an effective rehearsal process: the \u003cstrong\u003epedagogical notes\u003c\/strong\u003e provide contextual elements (lyrics and information about each song) as well as guidance for setup and interpretation. A piano accompaniment can be added with any instrumental combination, offering an ideal harmonic and rhythmic foundation for both stage and classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePop\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eTraditional (folk melodies)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eTraditional (folk) music for strings\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eString quartet or string orchestra; violin, viola, or cello ensembles; combinations of 2, 3, or 4 instruments (violin, viola, cello); solo violin, solo viola, and solo cello versions; optional piano accompaniment\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eVarious levels (some pieces easier than others)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Alfred Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360099193107,"sku":"305376","price":11.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/8f3cad9f137d38435385fc8a6ed37b08ee44cd44_16890X_9643af23-c591-48ee-9f5a-201c05af3972.jpg?v=1789461611","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/alfred-publishing-martin-joanne-more-folk-strings-cello-ensemble-305376","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
