Chaconne in G [score] by Andre Campra Cello - Sheet Music

SKU: C5.6015-S

This delightful piece by Andre Campra (1660-1744) was originally scored for strings. Our setting has the melody played by solo violin or flute, with continuo accompaniment. The continuo may be played by cello or bassoon on the bass line, with organ or harpsichord adding the harmonies. The arranger has not only realized the figured bass part, but has ornamented the solo line in keeping with typical Baroque practice. While certainly worthy of the interest of mature players, the music of Chaconne is well within the grasp of most junior and senior high school instrumentalists.
