Carse, Adam: Fiddle Fancies for Cello and Piano Ref: H437

Trinity Guildhall Grades 2 & 4

Cello part and Piano part

The seven pieces for cello in this collection are of a slightly more challenging level of difficulty than those of Fiddler's Nursery, which, like Fiddle Fancies, have been transposed and edited for young cellists by noted teacher Wendy Max. As ever, Carse fits the solo and accompaniment together to make a complete musical picture, testing both the player's technical skills and imaginative gifts. The seven pieces encompass a variety of moods and styles, ranging from the tranquillity of 'Sweet Sorrow', 'Bluebell Chimes' and 'Sadness' to the exuberance of 'Swinging', 'Hopping Dance', 'Waltz Steps' and the ever-popular 'Frog Dance'.

Carse, Adam: Fiddler's Nursery for Cello and Piano Ref: H434

Trinity Guildhall Initial & Grade 3

Cello part and Piano part

A favourite with violinists for nearly 80 years, The Fiddler's Nursery is now available for cellists as well. Wendy Max, one of Britain's most highly respected specialist teachers of young players, has edited the transposed solo part with bowings and fingerings to reflect contemporary approaches to early-stage learning for the instrument, but leaving the music unaltered. No less suited to the cello than to the violin, the results offer ideal material for individual or group tuition of players at pre-grade 1 and elementary level.

Hayes, Morgan: Opera for Violin and Piano Ref: H448

Trinity Guildhall Fellowship Diploma (from 2011)

[PDF Sample]

Opera, by the leading young composer Morgan Hayes, takes its title from the 1987 film by the Italian director Dario Argento, famed for his work in the giallo horror genre. Though the story concerns a jinxed production of Verdi's opera Macbeth, the intense, highly charged music relates less to the physical action than to the prowling camerawork, abrupt jump-cutting and other techniques that contribute to the heightened melodrama uniquely characteristic of Argento's style.

Lasting about seven minutes, Opera has already been featured by several leading young violinists offering exciting new material in their recitals, and will be no less valued for its technical and interpretative challenges as a conservatoire test-piece at diploma level. A recording by Darragh Morgan and Mary Dullea is due for forthcoming release on the prestigious NMC label.

Samuel, Rhian: Blythswood. Three pieces for Viola and Piano Ref: H398

Trinity Guildhall Grade 8 and Associate Diploma (from 2011)

Rhian Samuel's fresh and stimulating vocal and instrumental works have earned her an enviable reputation as a composer willing to tackle challenging subjects and a variety of musical forms. The three contrasting pieces of Blythswood were written at Glaick in Scotland, on the mainland across from Skye, and each one evokes in terms of seascape or memory the idea of the 'distant view'.

Senaillé (1687-1730) was the first French violinist to adopt the ideals of the Italian school of playing. To the French style, with its melodic grace, virtuosic writing and frequent use of dance rhythms, he brought the Italian conventions of the baroque sonata, imitative counterpoint and a melodically conceived continuo.

Two Eighteenth-Century Pieces Ref: H468

Trinity Guildhall Grades 6 (Giordani: Larghetto) & Grade 8 (Rameau: Tambourin)

[Standard: Intermediate]
[PDF Sample]

Arranged for Double Bass and Piano by H Samuel Sterling

Rameau: Tambourin
Giordani: Larghetto

The lively Tambourin by Rameau is among the most popular of baroque instrumental pieces, and in H. Samuel Sterling's idiomatic arrangement for double bass and piano it forms a welcome addition to the bassist's repertoire. Giordani's stately Larghetto is an ideal counterweight, and an exercise in sustained, expressive playing that is included in the Associated Board Grade 6 syllabus for the instrument.
