Skating- From A Charlie Brown ChristmasThis is an intermediate string orchestra arrangement for the classic tune SkatingThe original piece is in C major and this arrangement has been transposed to G major. Some of the turn-around chords which were chromatic I have altered to be diatonic chords for ease of the players given that it is for an intermediate-level group.The Violin 1 part has the main melody, and pizzicato at the beginning and end. The Violin 2 part as normal supports Violin 1 with harmony which is most of the time in thirds just like the original.The Viola part is the easiest of all the parts mostly playing dotted half notes as well as playing a little pizzicato.The Cello part has a lot of the color for the chords and the B section has a little counter melody.The Bass part uses, pizzicato and arco, low F naturals and one Eb, as well as dotted quarter notes for the main theme to match the violins.It can also be played as a string quintet if desired. If you don't have any violas I will have another version with a Violin 3 part that is the same as the viola. I hope you enjoy it!
