| Description |
A beautiful slow piece, originally for two four-voice choirs. When playing this, try to sit in two choirs so you can hear them "talk" to each other.
Cello 1/Cello 4: Entirely in treble clef
Cello 2/Cello 5: Entirely in tenor clef
Cello 3/Cello 6: Bass clef, shifting up to second position
Cello 4/Cello 8: Bass clef, first position
Cello 3,4,6,8 could be played by advanced beginners with excellent counting skills. All parts are rhythmically independent (and tricky if you are not used to early music) and there is a meter change. |
