King Arthur: Prelude in C and Hornpipe (string trio)

Title: King Arthur: Prelude in C and Hornpipe

Composer: Henry Purcell, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2 or Viola; Cello

Printout: 9 pages including cover

Note: These two little movements from Purcell’s semi-opera (musical play with spoken dialog rather than recitatives) are perfect to open or close a chamber music program. The hornpipe can also be a delightful short encore. The pair are also light and easy enough for gig use.
