Composed by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Arranged by J Mark Thompson. Romantic Russian. Score and Parts. Cherry Classics #CC2688. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2688).Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) composed his String Quartet No. 1 in D, Op. 11, in 1871. Countless arrangements of its second movement, Andante cantabile, have been made, but it was not discovered until after his death that he, too, had arranged this movement in 1888, his version being for solo cello and strings. In this version, Tchaikovsky transposed the movement, originally in the key of B-flat Major, up to B Major.
The singing melody is based on a popular Russian folk song, and it lends itself quite well for performance on trombones.
This arrangement premiered February 14, 1997, at the Texas Music Educators' Association Convention in San Antonio, TX.
