Violin book with CD for intermediate level
de Haske Colours of the World is a violin book with CD for the moderately advanced violinist who knows three positions. The book contains fourteen performance pieces that form a varied collection, with influences from Hungary, Cuba, Argentina, America, Ireland and Morocco.
This violin book also covers a wide range of atmospheres. You play music inspired by different periods, including the age of chivalry, and styles ranging from solid rock and tex-mex to Balkan sounds and house music.
Colours of the World by Jos van den Dungen
Jos van den Dungen wrote Colours of the World as a collection for violin aimed at intermediate players. This edition from De Haske Publications has 32 pages and comes as a book plus CD, so you can study and play with accompaniment.
The accompaniment CD was recorded by musicians who specialise in their own style. That means the backing matches the character of the different pieces, from Age of Chivalry and Casablanca to Hungarian Lovesong and Farewell to Mr. Dodo. If you want advice on sheet music or study material, Magna Music offers personal help from people who are musicians themselves.
Varied performance pieces for violin
This violin collection includes fourteen titles: Age of Chivalry, Blue Electric, Casablanca, Let's Go Tex Mex, Russian Roulette, It's all 4 U, The Red-Haired Priest, Dance of the Veil, E-Motion, The Fiddler's Blues, Wild Horses, The Grey Cat, Hungarian Lovesong and Farewell to Mr. Dodo.
That makes Colours of the World a good fit for lessons or self-study if you like working with contrasting styles and want a violin book that goes beyond one fixed musical direction.
