Yorkshire Wassail: Theme and variations for violin and viola (violin viola duo)

Title: Yorkshire Wassail: Theme and variations for violin and viola

Composer: traditional, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin and Viola

Printout: 2 pages

Note: Meter changes and modal harmonies keep this traditional tune ever-interesting. It’s a nice change of pace from the usual Christmas repertoire. The first variation uses drone-like open strings fifths (reminiscent of border pipes) in the violin to accompany the melody in the viola.
