Song of the Angels
or
The Evening Song
 

Arranged for 4 Violins and Piano
Violin Parts: Kerstin Wartberg
Piano Part: David Andruss

The following songs can be played one after another either as solo pieces or as duets, trios or quartets in any combination to the piano accompaniment.
No. 1: Song of the Angels (volume 2 and up / My First Technique Book)
No. 2: Evening Sunset at the Lake (volume 3 and up / My Second Technique Book)
No. 3: Small Waves (volume 4 and up / My Second Technique Book)
No. 4: Last Rays of Sunshine (volume 6 and up / My Second Technique Book)

The bass lines and harmonies of this piece are identical in sections A and B. The accompaniment to section A can be used for section B as well as for further sections based on the other violin parts in the My First Violin Technique Book.

The various violin parts can be played in any order and can be layered, one after the other, until all are played simultaneously, making this arrangement one of extreme flexibility.

On the MP3 files, a 4-hand piano accompaniment can be heard. We have arranged the piece here for piano with only two hands in order to accommodate more typical teaching and performing situations.

We encourage teachers and accompanists alike to experiment with this arrangement and suit it to their individual needs.

One example of this type of flexible, spontaneous arrangement can be found on YouTube under the title Evening Song.
