VIOLA SOLOIST SUITE

Everything a Violist 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 viola. This is the dedicated viola edition: a true alto-clef part, set in A minor to sit right on the instrument, with a full orchestra recording in the same key.

Everything a violist 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 string players around the world.

Sheet Music

The advanced solo viola part, plus the piano accompaniment as a viola-and-piano combined score, so your pianist can follow your line.

Performance Accompaniment Tracks

The full orchestra recording with the solo part 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 recording of this A-minor arrangement with cello and orchestra, and the cello and piano version, so you know exactly how both configurations should sound before you make them your own.

Arranged and produced by Matt Riley.

VIOLA ENSEMBLE SUITE

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

A $190 Total Value

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

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

Two Violas Arrangement

Sheet music for both viola parts, plus a combined score with the piano accompaniment written out. Each part 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.

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.

Violin, Viola & Piano Trio

A second trio pairing: violin and viola out front with the piano part written out in the combined score. Two different voices trade the melody and the fireworks.

Rhythm Section Combo

Feature your violist 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 viola-and-piano combined score, 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 from the original A-minor sessions, so you can hear how the two solo parts trade off.
