Two Grieg Lyric Pieces By Grieg Arr. Stephen Chin

Grieg's music is a beautiful representation of Norwegian folk songs; these pieces are no exception. The "Watchman's Song" has a haunting quality, with a section where the watchman sees a ghostly apparition. The use of tremolo in this section is particularly effective in conveying the eerie atmosphere. The melancholic waltz that follows is reminiscent of being in a dimly lit troll's cave, with its mournful melody and slow tempo. The contrast of keys and playing styles in these works adds depth and complexity, making them a great choice for refining any ensemble. Overall, these pieces are a testament to Grieg's skill in capturing the essence of Norwegian folk music and bringing it to life through his compositions.

La Follia By Corelli Arr Stephen Chin

Arcangelo Corelli (1653 - 1713) was a Baroque composer who set the standard for musical composition in his time. This piece is based on the last of his opus five violin sonatas, which includes twenty-four variations on the Spanish melody "La Follia". The arrangement presents five variations after the theme is introduced, with each upper-string section playing the tune fully against Corelli's original figurations. The main theme returns in an opulent manner.
