Create a rich, memorable performance with just you and your violin.The Solo Violin Wedding and Gig Book Volume One contains 27 unaccompanied arrangements created especially for solo violinists. Unlike collections that provide only the melody, these arrangements add flowing connective notes, movement during otherwise sustained passages, and musical details that help the violin 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 violin 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.Contents:O Mio Babbino CaroSalut d’AmourAllegro from Lute Concerto, RV 93Largo from Lute Concerto, RV 93Nessun DormaMusetta’s WaltzLargo from Winter (The Four Seasons)Sheep May Safely GrazeGive Me Your HandRondeauSong to the Moon from RusalkaEntr’acte from CarmenPavaneAir from Water MusicBridal ChorusClair de LuneJesu, Joy of Man’s DesiringCanonTrumpet VoluntaryTrumpet TuneAllegro from Spring (The Four Seasons)La Réjouissance from The Royal FireworksHornpipe from Water MusicBrandenburg Concerto No. 3, Movement OneSimple GiftsBe Still My SoulWedding MarchWhether you are preparing for a wedding, building a reliable gig repertoire, or looking for satisfying unaccompanied arrangements to perform in church or at a recital, this collection offers music that allows one violin to make the occasion special.
