My three (or four) part harmony arrangement of the traditional old time American fiddle tune, "Coleman's March". This is a lovely slow tune.
This tune has a good story attached - including a murder, a hanging, a fiddle contest and even a resurrection! Here's a great article about it from an amazing blog called "Old Time Party":

This can, like all of my arrangements, be played as a duet or trio for violins. However, in this series of harmonies that I'm working on at the moment, the lowest part is written with cello or viola in mind, so it can be played on various instrument combinations that include viola or cello.
NEW: I've now added bonus scores for string quartet.
You'll get three trio scores and three quartet scores with this download:
* Two violins and cello
* Two violins and viola
* Violin trio
* String quartet (two violins, viola and cello)
* Three violins and cello
* Three violins and viola
Not all parts have to be played at once - the harmonies can be used as duets, so it works fine as a violin and cello duet, violin and viola duet, or fiddle duet.
You can hear the different parts in the recording above: first time, I play the tune with the violin harmony part, then the tune with the cello/viola part, and then all three parts together.
Also included are "practise mixes", which are audio tracks for each harmony part with the tune turned down and the harmony part turned up louder, to help with learning and memorising the harmonies.
NOTE: the recordings in this download are only for the trio version; the quartet scores were added as a bonus item and have not been recorded. However, the trio recordings should give you a rough idea of how the quartet versions sound.
I have lots more harmony arrangements of traditional and some of my own tunes - see
