Background Trios for Strings, Volume 2
“Background Trios for Strings, Volume 1” is so much fun, that we just had to create a Volume 2. There are 20 pieces in this collection, and many are a bit more adventurous than Volume 1.
Styles represented include Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical music.
As with Volume 1, everybody shares the interesting melodic bits.
Each of the collections in the
Trios for Strings
series consists of nine individual part books.
Each of the three trio parts (A, B, and C)
are available for Violins, Violas, and Cellos.
For the arrangements to work there has to be at least
one A part, one B part, and one C part
because the melody bounces from one part to another.
PDFs
are available for each of the books in the
Trios for Strings Series series.

Reviews...
“These two volumes (‘
Background Trios For Strings, Volume 1 ’
and ‘Background Trios For Strings, Volume 2’)
of twenty-four and twenty tunes, respectively, are generally two to four-page trios for
violin, viola, or cello, in any combination. The diverse collection includes everything
from Beethoven’s ‘Six Landlers’ to ‘Jesse Polka’ and the
‘Pig Ankle Rag’ (Vol. 1). Volume II is a bit more classical, covering every era.
Tunes in Volume II are a bit longer than those in Volume I, and include more third position.
The arrangements are well balanced and everyone gets some ‘action.’
The print is easy to read and the off-white pages are thoughtful to eyes.
Bowing and dynamic markings are well placed. The spiral binding allows the music
to lie flat on a stand. The page layout avoids page turns. These books are good for
gigging, and would also be good pieces for any young trio.”
