Copyrighted arrangement: Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen for string duet

There are not enough duets for viola and cello in the world!

At least, that's what I think. But then I am a cellist with a violist brother 😁
Anyway, I am currently working to rectify this. Among other things, that involves making a duet arrangement of Leonard Cohen's beautiful song Hallelujah, and putting it up for sale on Sheet Music Plus. Check it out here!

All right, I admit it - I made versions for viola duet, cello duet and violin/viola duet as well. After all, not everyone has a cellist sister. You'll find them all on my Publisher Page at SMP.

Enjoy!

Anglais from Skåne - Swedish folk dance for children's string orchestra

A fun little piece for the youngest string students! This lively Swedish folk dance is a great addition to the repertoire of any children's string orchestra. The rhythmic patterns are easy to learn and fun to play for everyone. The second violin and double bass parts are written with beginners in mind, and the double bass part may be played on the cello, too.

Celebrate Midsummer the Swedish way this year! :D

Parts available here - including viola part (second violin part in alto clef).
