Watch the featured video below with two cellos and piano to get a feel for the energy and style of the piece.

This digital download includes sheet music for viola, cello, and piano in PDF format. The viola and cello parts are equally stunning allowing both players to share the "glory" so to speak. This arrangement requires an advanced level of technical skill on all three instruments. However a simplified version of the piano part is included and it requires a late intermediate level of skill.

This arrangement can be performed with the accompaniment tracks instead of piano if desired.

If you would like to add more instruments to your ensemble, you can do that by purchasing parts from the full orchestra version. You can purchase these individual parts at the bottom of this page.

String Orchestra Score & Parts

These string orchestra arrangements are based directly on my popular cello versions, and the orchestrations are identical across instruments. While the current performance videos feature cello with string orchestra, they’ll give you a clear sense of how your ensemble will sound.

The Two Violas & String Orchestra version is available now. Additional versions — including Late Intermediate Violin & String Orchestra and Advanced Viola & String Orchestra — are already finished and ready to upload. If you’re interested in a version that’s not listed yet, feel free to reach out and I’ll make it available for you.

Full Orchestra Score and Parts

These full orchestra arrangements are adapted directly from my popular cello versions and feature the same cinematic orchestration, with added winds, brass, percussion, and optional rhythm section for a bold, epic sound.

All cello solo versions — Advanced, Intermediate, and Early Intermediate — are compatible with either the Full Orchestra or String Orchestra scores. Performance videos currently feature the Advanced Cello with String Orchestra, but they reflect the same musical material used in the full orchestral versions.

If you’re looking for a specific version paired with full orchestra and don’t see it listed yet, it’s likely finished — just let me know and I’ll be happy to make it available.
