Easy Dance of the Pernambuco

In a friendlier key and with no thumb position, this arrangement of Dance of the Pernambuco is great for intermediate cello quartets of all ages. Shifting is required for all, the highest note is the harmonic A. Score and 4 parts. Pernambuco, otherwise known as Brazilwood, is the type of wood that is the very best for making high quality string instrument bows. Because of this and many other uses of wood and land in the forests and rainforests of Brazil, it has become an endangered species and its use is now severely restricted. As a string player and user of a Pernambuco wood bow, I want to show my thankfulness for the gift of this small piece of wood, as well as raise awareness for the immediate need for reforestation and preservation of all forests around the world. I have started by donating at least 5% of my CD sales in the form of a monthly donation to: https://www.amap-brazil.org/
