CELLO SOLOIST SUITE

Everything a Cellist Needs — $39

A $90 Total Value

We Three Kings reimagined as an epic orchestral journey east, with sitar, tabla, duduk, and hammered dulcimer riding under a virtuosic solo cello. This is the dedicated cello edition, set in A minor to sit right on the instrument, with its own orchestra recording.

Everything a cellist needs to perform We Three Kings, whether you have a pianist or you are playing over a track. This is the showpiece that has racked up millions of views in the hands of cellists around the world.

Sheet Music

The advanced solo cello part, plus the piano accompaniment as a piano-and-cello combined score in two layouts: plain and with chord symbols, so your pianist can follow your line either way.

Performance Accompaniment Tracks

The full orchestra recording with the cello removed and a percussion fill added to cue your entrance, plus a piano and string orchestra version for a more intimate setting. Pick the sound that fits your venue and play the solo live over it.

Rehearsal Track

A piano-only accompaniment recording, so you can rehearse exactly what a live pianist would play before you step in front of the orchestra track.

Reference Recordings

The original cello and orchestra recording, and the cello and piano version, so you know exactly how both configurations should sound.

Teachers and music directors: see Maestro membership for printing rights and 50% off the catalog.

Arranged and produced by Matt Riley.

CELLO ENSEMBLE SUITE

Three Chamber Showpieces, a Combo Rhythm Section + the Complete Soloist Suite — $69

A $195 Total Value

We Three Kings reimagined as an epic orchestral journey east, with sitar, tabla, duduk, and hammered dulcimer riding under virtuosic solo cellos.

All three chamber versions of this arrangement, with the complete Soloist Suite nested inside.

Two Cellos Arrangement

Sheet music for both cello parts. Each requires an advanced level of skill, and each gets its share of the melody and the fireworks, so both players share the glory. Performs with any accompaniment in the suite: live piano, the orchestra track, or the piano and string orchestra track.

Cello & Violin Arrangement

The duo version that puts a violinist on the high road while the cello holds the low. Both parts are equally stunning, and the arrangement performs with the same accompaniment options as the rest of the suite. The piano score shows all three parts on the page, so your pianist can see both string lines while playing. Score and parts in 8.5x11 and 9x12.

Viola, Cello & Piano Trio

The trio version with a written-out piano part in the combined score, so three players can put the whole piece on stage with nothing else needed. Viola and cello split the melody and the fireworks.

Rhythm Section Combo

Feature your cellist over a live combo instead of an orchestra. A simple rhythm chart lays out the chords for an improvising keys or guitar player, and there are written electric guitar and electric bass parts if you want them played straight. For the drummer, a straightforward drum set chart plus a toms-and-bass-drum percussion part. A whole second way to perform the piece with a small group.

The Complete Soloist Suite, Included

The full Soloist Suite is nested inside this folder: the advanced solo part, the piano accompaniment in both layouts, the performance accompaniment and rehearsal tracks, and the reference recordings. See its own Read Me for the details.

Reference Recordings

The two cellos and orchestra demo, so you can hear how the parts trade off.

CELLO STRING ORCHESTRA SUITE

Both String Orchestra Versions + the Complete Ensemble Suite — $149

A $470 Total Value

We Three Kings reimagined as an epic orchestral journey east, with a virtuosic solo cello out front.

Both string orchestra arrangements of We Three Kings, solo cello and two cellos, with source files and the complete Ensemble Suite nested inside. A great opportunity to feature your virtuoso cellist and give your audience an unforgettable performance.

Cello, Piano & String Orchestra

The solo line moves between lyrical phrasing, expressive ornamentation, and moments of virtuosic intensity while the strings build to an epic modulation near the end. Conductor's score and all section parts.

Two Cellos, Piano & String Orchestra

The same rich orchestration with the solo book split across two equally stunning cello parts, so you can feature two players and let them share the glory.

MusicXML Source Files

MusicXML files for the score and parts. Import into Finale, Sibelius, Dorico, MuseScore, or the notation software you already use to transpose, edit bowings, or simplify a passage for a younger section. The complete source set ships with the Symphony Master suites.

The Complete Ensemble Suite, Included

The full Ensemble Suite is nested inside this folder: the two-cello, cello-and-violin, and viola-cello-piano arrangements, and the entire Soloist Suite. See its own Read Me.

Reference Recordings

The cello, piano, and string orchestra recording, and the two-cello version.

Program a Different Soloist Every Season: The accompaniment does not change with the soloist, so any of the chamber arrangements in the Ensemble Suite can be performed with the string orchestra instead of piano. The players read the same score and the same parts either way; the soloists read their parts from the Ensemble Suite included here. Buy it once and you can feature a different soloist or pairing every season for as long as you keep the piece in rotation.

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.
