Description:
Gustav Holst's exhilarating "St. Paul's Suite" is a timeless masterpiece of English string repertoire. With this spirited arrangement of the opening "Jig", published by Latham Music, the famous work comes alive in a rich and resonant setting for four cellos and double bass. The arrangement captivates with its rhythmic drive and pure joy of playing: while Cellos 1 and 2 shine with excursions into the tenor and treble clefs, every single part gets rewarding and engaging musical lines. The double bass provides a wonderful, driving foundation to this energetic dance. This score is an ideal choice for advanced high school ensembles, music schools, and cello groups looking to delight their audience with British charm and vibrant energy.
