Looking for a lyrical showpiece that lets your Grade 7 violinist shine with orchestral support?

Edward Elgar's Carissima is a tender, expressive salon piece that captures the Edwardian elegance and warmth Elgar is loved for. Written in the sunny key of G Major, this charming miniature showcases beautiful melodic writing with a singing, romantic character. Originally composed with piano accompaniment, this arrangement transforms the accompaniment into a warm, supportive string cushion that enhances the soloist's lyrical lines whilst adding rich harmonic colour.

Why This Arrangement?

Our string orchestra arrangement brings new life to this beloved work. The lush string textures support the soloist beautifully, creating a fuller, more orchestral sound that elevates the performance experience. The carefully balanced orchestration ensures the solo violin always sits clearly above the ensemble, whilst the string section provides harmonic depth and rhythmic support. Perfect for student soloists ready to experience performing with orchestra, this arrangement offers an accessible entry into the concerto repertoire with genuine musical substance.
