Summary of This Score
This collection brings together a selection of essential themes arranged for 2 Violins, with clear and progressive writing adapted to violinists at the beginning of their journey. The goal is twofold: to enrich the repertoire with immediately recognizable melodies, and to develop essential duo playing reflexes (starting together, common phrasing, dynamic control, precision of phrase endings).
The content alternates songs, dances, and traditional airs, allowing for variation in bowing styles and articulations: the energy of dances, the smoothness of singing melodies, and a sense of pulse. Included are notably: A Policeman's Lot is Not a Happy One, God Save the Queen, Irish Washerwoman, Simple Simon, All Through the Night, Early in the Morning, Scarborough Fair, The Ghost of Tom, Greensleeves, Drowsy Maggie, Old English Dance, Blue Bells of Scotland, Floral Dance, Alleluia, Molly on the Shore, Mists Before the Sunrise Fly, The Lough Gill, Auld Lang Syne, Dunmore Lassies.
Thanks to this repertoire, students can work on coordination between the two parts (listening, breathing, synchronization), while consolidating technical foundations on the violin. It is an excellent resource to complement a pedagogical progression, prepare a small concert, or simply refresh study pieces with themes that "speak" to musicians.
