The lovely Barcarolle evokes the feeling of being poled on a small boat, or barca on the canals of Venice. This intermediate arrangement for string orchestra can be played entirely in first position, though shifting will make some of the passages easier to play and more musical. This piece provides the perfect opportunity to highlight your harpist. The harp parts is integral to the piece, but can be played on a keyboard instrument if necessary.
It is a grade 3 on the UIL PML.
This grade 3 arrangement for string orchestra can be played entirely in first position, though shifting will make some of the passages easier to play and more musical. The cello section is divided into Cello I and Cello II, both parts involving work with extensions. A Violin III part (viola treble clef) has been included. The Harp part is integral to this work and, if a harp is unavailable, can be played on a keyboard instrument. This is an excellent piece for using full, legato bow strokes – smooth as glass. The parts have been carefully fingered and bowed for best musical effect.
