Summary of This Sheet Music
Cello Music from Around the Worldis a generous resource to enrich the intermediate cellist's repertoire with pieces drawn from diverse traditions and aesthetics. In the spirit of the famous "Fiddler" format, the book offers clear and practical writing: a melodic cello line, accompaniment elements, and easy parts allowing for two-cello playing, while remaining compatible with accompanied work.
The inclusion of a piano accompaniment and chord symbols (guitar ad lib.) facilitates adaptation to various contexts: individual lessons, chamber music, group workshops, or simply the joy of playing with harmonic support. The CD of performance/backing tracks is a major asset for progress: it helps stabilize tempo, refine listening skills, and gain rhythmic ease in contrasting styles (reels, airs, ragtime, tango, songs, and traditional themes).
The collection includes 20 pieces : Carolan's Air, Drowsie Maggie, Makin' Whoopee, Paragon Rag, Staten Island, Mrs McLeod's Reel, The Flower of the Quern, On the Balcony, Pastime with Good Company, Watkins' Ale, Blackberry Blossom, The Silver Leaves of the Poplar Tree, The Four Corners of My Handkerchief, We Three Kings of Orient Are, Il est né, le divin enfant, Freylechs from Warsaw, Russian March, Glwysen, La Cucaracha, La Cumparsita. A trilingual preface (Preface/Préface/Einführung) opens the book to guide the use of the sheet music and playalong.
