The Solo Viola Wedding and Gig Book, Volume One - PDF Download

Create a rich, memorable performance with just you and your viola. The Solo Viola Wedding and Gig Book Volume One contains 27 unaccompanied arrangements created especially for solo violists. Unlike collections that provide only the melody, these arrangements add flowing connective notes, movement during otherwise sustained passages, and musical details that help the viola fill the space. Many selections also include variations, giving the performer additional musical interest and making repeated sections especially effective when no other instrument is present. The result is music that sounds complete and engaging on solo viola while preserving the beauty and character of each familiar work. Designed for late-intermediate students through professional musicians, the arrangements use first and third positions. The collection provides practical, performance-ready music for weddings, cocktail hours, receptions, church services, memorial services, dinners, recitals, community events, and other occasions requiring elegant live music. The varied repertoire includes graceful selections for preludes and quiet gatherings, expressive operatic favorites, beloved sacred works, and lively music for wedding recessional or celebratory moments.
