For Violin  •  Solo, Duo & Orchestra

Ode to Joy

Beethoven's anthem as a concerto style showpiece for solo violin.

A bright, joyful arrangement for advanced violin with a full orchestra behind you. Play it with a pianist, over the orchestra track, as a duo with a second violin, with a rhythm section, or with your full orchestra and choir. Every version is the same piece over the same accompaniment, so you can start small and grow into it. It all lives on this page, from the $39 Soloist Suite to the full Symphony Master score.

Note: Each tier includes everything from the tiers before it. Every edition is the same arrangement over the same accompaniment, so the solo, the violin duo and the rhythm section all play with the orchestra track and with the full orchestra. The solo violin and two violin versions each come with their own conductor's score and full part set, so one purchase lets you feature a different soloist every season. The String Orchestra & Piano edition, the Piano Quartet and the multi-track stems are coming soon, and each is added free to every tier that lists it.

VIOLIN SOLOIST SUITE

Everything a Violinist Needs — $39

A $60 Total Value

Beethoven's Ode to Joy turned into a bright, concerto style showpiece for advanced solo violin. Play it with a live pianist or with the included full orchestra accompaniment track. Everything you need to perform it is here.

Sheet Music: The solo violin part and the piano accompaniment, each at US Letter for a home printer and at 9x12 for the stand. The piano part prints the violin line above it, so your pianist always knows where you are.

Performance Accompaniment Track: The full orchestral backing track from the recording, with the solo violin taken out. You play the solo line live.

Reference Recording: The complete performance, violin and orchestra, so you can hear the piece before you learn it.

Every Way You Can Program It: Violin and piano for a recital, a service or a competition. Violin over the orchestra track when there is no orchestra in the room. Same notes, same part, either way.

Production: Orchestrated, arranged and produced by Matt Riley, with additional arranging by Christine Showalter.

VIOLIN ENSEMBLE SUITE

Two Violins & Piano, a Rhythm Section + the Complete Soloist Suite — $69

A $105 Total Value

The same arrangement for two violins and piano. It was commissioned by four string players who read every draft, played it, and sent notes back. Add the rhythm section and you have a band. The complete Soloist Suite is included.

Two Violins & Piano: Parts for Violin 1 and Violin 2, and a piano part that prints both violin lines above it. Every file at US Letter and at 9x12. Commissioned by Strings for the King, Narelle Colbey, Tad Hardin and Abbey Swartzendruber.

Rhythm Section: Written parts for Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar and Drum Set. The guitar and bass parts mix standard, rhythmic and slash notation, so they suit players who like to improvise. Add them to the solo or to the duo and you get the drive of the recording with four or five players.

Piano Quartet, Coming Soon: A violin, viola, cello and piano edition is on the way. When it ships it is added to this suite and you get it free.

Every Way You Can Program It: Two violins and piano. Two violins over the orchestra track. Solo violin and piano. Add the rhythm section to any of them. Or one violin alone over the track. Each is a complete engraved edition with its own parts, not a part with a harmony line pencilled in. The complete Soloist Suite comes with it: the solo violin part, the piano accompaniment, the orchestral accompaniment track and the reference recording.

Production: Orchestrated, arranged and produced by Matt Riley, with additional arranging by Christine Showalter.

VIOLIN STRING ORCHESTRA SUITE

Solo Violin, String Orchestra & Piano — Coming Soon

The concerto with a string section and piano behind it, for school, church and community string orchestras. The piano part fills in much of what the winds and brass play in the full orchestra version, so a strings only group still gets a full sound.

What it will include: A conductor's score and the full set of string parts with the piano part, at 9x12 for the stand and 8.5x11 for a home printer. The complete Ensemble and Soloist Suites are included.

Every Way You Can Program It: Solo violin or the violin duo with strings and piano, or with piano alone. Two violins and piano, violin and piano, or either over the orchestra track.

Program a Different Soloist Every Season: The accompaniment does not change with the soloist. Feature one violinist this season and the violin duo from the Ensemble Suite the next, over the same strings and piano.

Symphony Suites

Own It. Don't Rent It.

Most full orchestra works this size are rental only. You pay every performance and send the parts back. This one is yours to keep. Buy it once and perform it forever, with no rental and no per-performance fees. Program it a couple of times and it has already beaten renting.

VIOLIN SYMPHONY MASTER SUITE — STANDARD

The Full Orchestra Edition + the Ensemble and Soloist Suites — $399

A $430 Total Value

The complete orchestration, the one on the recording. One violin or two out front, full orchestra behind, with an optional rhythm section and an optional choir written into the score. The Ensemble and Soloist Suites are included, so one purchase covers the orchestra concert, the chamber recital and the soloist with piano.

Two Complete Orchestra Sets: One for solo violin and orchestra, one for two violins and orchestra. Each has its own 11x17 conductor's score and its own full part set, so the score on your podium always matches the parts on the stands.

The Complete Part Set: Every part at both 9x12 and 8.5x11. Piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, English horn (optional), two clarinets in A with B flat alternates, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon (optional), four horns, three trumpets in C with B flat alternates and simplified B flat parts, two trombones, bass trombone, tuba, timpani, four percussion players, harp, piano, SATB choir (optional), and strings. Plus the Solo Violin part in the solo set, and Solo Violin 1 and 2 in the two violin set. Every part in score order.

Optional Rhythm Section and Choir: Electric guitar, bass guitar and drum set are written into the orchestration, and so is an SATB choir singing Henry van Dyke's words, Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee, with a coda text by Matt Riley. Play it as a straight orchestral piece or add either one.

Reference Recording: The full solo violin and orchestra performance.

String Orchestra & Piano, Coming Soon: A solo violin, string orchestra and piano edition is on the way. When it ships it is added to this suite and you get it free.

Program a Different Soloist Every Season: The accompaniment does not change with the soloist. Feature one violinist this season and two the next. The music behind the soloist is the same either way, and each version has its own matched score and parts. Buy it once and it keeps producing new programming for as long as you keep it in rotation.

Piano Quartet, Coming Soon: A violin, viola, cello and piano edition is on the way. When it ships it is added to this suite and you get it free.

Every Way You Can Program It: Full orchestra with one violinist or two, with or without the rhythm section and choir. Two violins and piano. Violin and piano. Either over the orchestra track. Every one is a complete engraved edition with its own parts, not a reduction of the big version. The complete Ensemble Suite and the complete Soloist Suite with the orchestral accompaniment track are included.

Production: Orchestrated, arranged and produced by Matt Riley, with additional arranging by Christine Showalter. Originally commissioned by the Apostolic Faith Church of Portland, Oregon.

Teachers and music directors — see Maestro membership for printing rights and 50% off the catalog. Schools, universities, orchestras and churches can pay $200 a year, one invoice, one receipt.
