Roland Pidoux, the French cellist and editor who recently joined Ovation Press back in September, has published a new arrangement. This time around, Pidoux has chosen a relatively unknown gem for all of us: Schubert's Gesang der Geister über den Wassern, arranged for cello octet.
The symphonic sounds of aerial wildlife are present in a new batch of arrangements for cello ensemble from editor Hans Erik Deckert featuring: Saint-Saëns' The Swan for Cello Quintet, Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee for 9-12 Celli, and the folk tune Song of the Birds for 10 Celli.
German cellist Carsten Jaspert is the latest to join the ranks of exceptional musicians that have arranged, edited, and composed music for Ovation Press, bringing two works to the cello ensemble: Moszkowski's Guitarre and Strauss' Pizzicato Polka.
With the last month having been focused on the violin and the work of composer Helmut Lipsky, we're excited to shift the focus back to you cellists this week with a great transcription by editor Valter Dešpalj. In the past, Mr. Dešpalj has delivered some very creative arrangements that bring the cello together with guitar. Jacques Offenbach's Musette is the latest to feature this pairing.
We have a real treat for you on our blog String Visions - an exclusive interview with editor Roland Pidoux. Mr. Pidoux shares with us some of his musical and professional experiences, as well as discussing his approach in creating two outstanding arrangements for cello ensemble: Rachmaninoff's Vocalise for Cello Octet and Fauré's Après un rêve for Cello Octet.
