Note: Sometimes attributed to Pleyel, the St Anthony Chorale was used by Brahms as the theme for Variations on a theme by Haydn. This arrangement uses simple double stops in both parts to fill out harmonies and enrich the texture. St Anthony Chorale is ideal music for preludes and interludes, and it can even serve as a slow processional.

The St Anthony Chorale is available in arrangements for a variety of string ensembles: string quartet; string trio; violin duo; cello duo; violin/viola duo; violin/cello duo; and viola/cello duo.
