This wedding duo book is TO DIE FOR!!
Identical titles are used from Wedding Melodies For Two Violins/Violas. The content is superb, with fresh, creative harmonies for the cello.
The level is not overly difficult, perhaps intermediate, Suzuki book 4. Lots of counter melodies are going on underneath the violin melodic lines. In some of the shorter selections, I have included two verses, the second verse being more elaborate and ornamental. This is a great way to add length, as sometimes needed, to pre-wedding music.
I think cellists the world over will be thrilled to try out my arrangement of the Pachelbel Canon, where they actually get to play some fun stuff, too! Christopher Rex, retired Principal Cellist with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, was a co-arranger for this selection.
