Angels At Play
Publisher Desc.
An ethereal sounding cello duet, sometimes described as a lullaby, which
introduces thumb position to the left hand using natural harmonics on the
cello, without the tension introduced when strings must be lowered to the
fingerboard. Included on the back page
is a map of the most commonly used cello natural harmonics. Violoncello 2 accompanies Violoncello 1
sempre pizzicato, using only 3 natural harmonics, which produce a harp-like
sound. When taught, students quickly
pick up the Violoncello 2 part even though it is written in tenor clef. With the three notes far apart, students
can quickly recognize the notes they need, even without prior experience
reading tenor clef. Fingerings and
Roman numeral string markings are provided in the Violoncello 1 part the
first time each pitch appears, allowing the teacher to introduce treble clef
and how to read the map of the most commonly used harmonics, and allowing the
student to look back for reference when practicing. Each part stays in the same position throughout
the piece, requiring no shifting.
