Classical Sheet Music for String Musicians

Ravel, the master of orchestration, was well-known for reworking solo pieces (both original and by other composers) for full orchestra. His Pavane was one such piece and marks the editorial debut of Kars Sebastian Keen with Ovation Press.

The Allegro Appassionato is one representation of the strong interest Camille Saint-Saëns developed in the cello during the middle of his career. In this edition, Hans Erik Deckert has arranged the accompaniment for four cellos, while keeping the original solo part in the first cello.

Josquin – the famous Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance – is widely regarded as the first master of polyphonic vocal music that characterized his era. Hans Erik Deckert has selected Benedicta es, caelorum regina, one of seven motets by Josquin printed in the anthology Liber selectarum cantionum, for arrangement on cello sextet.

Carsten Jaspert is no stranger to arranging music for multiple celli, having produced cello ensemble editions for a decade. His latest arrangement is a cello quartet rendition of the G minor Prelude & Fugue from the second book of the The Well-Tempered Clavier.

The subject of many arrangements, Sergei Rachmaninoff's Vocalise has been arranged by Valter Dešpalj for solo cello with piano in this exciting new transposition to C minor from the traditional key of E minor.
