Summary of This Book
Designed for string players wishing to perform in the world of film music, this collection is part of a series specially arranged for violin, viola, and cello. The arrangements are fully compatible with each other: you can practice each piece independently, then bring several instruments together to play as an ensemble, achieving a coherent and balanced sound. This is an ideal solution for lessons, chamber music workshops, or student auditions.
Each title offers a custom piano accompaniment designed to support the instrument's line without overloading the reading. The removable instrument part facilitates setup at the music stand and emphasizes essential playing elements: bowings, articulations, phrasing, and comfortable key choices for levels 2 to 3. The result is a motivating, musical play-along perfectly suited to progression.
To go further, an orchestrated accompaniment CD is provided. Each piece appears in two versions: a DEMO track (with string interpretation in context) and the PLAY-ALONG track alone, ideal for working on listening, intonation, rhythmic placement, and tone control in an orchestral setting.
Included repertoire: from Episode I:Augie's Great Municipal Band, Duel of the Fates, Qui-Gon's Funeral, Star Wars (Main Title); from Episode II:Across the Stars, The Imperial March, May the Force Be with You, The Meadow Picnic; from Episode III:Battle of the Heroes, Princess Leia's Theme, The Throne Room.
