Solos and Collaborations

 
 

Here’s “Introduction and Tarantella” by Sarasate with violin score as reference. It’s known as a quasi “Tour de Force” piece of music; from my album “Spanish Essentials for VIolin and Piano”

4th Solo Violin Sonata by Ysaye, who dedicated it in honor of Fritz Kreisler with the famous quote of “Praeludium and Allegro” in the last movement.

3rd movement of Zigeunerweisen, a DePue Brother’s Band arrangement.

Sarasate’s temperamental “Habanera”, from my album “Spanish Essentials”

From Dounis’s “Daily Dozen”, his shifting exercise. It’s an excellent means for understanding shifting in an effective and immediate manner.

Sarasate’s “Malagueña”, a great work for vibrato, and wonderful to perform live.

“Caprice Basque” by Sarasate, with an eventual theme and variations.

….an excerpt of DePue Brothers arrangement of “Ashokan Farewell”, with nature scenes intertwined.

From the studio where we recorded “Good King Wenceslas”, in collaboration with Mark Cosgrove guitar, Mike Munford banjo, Kevin MacConnell bass, and Don Liuzzi drums.

An arrangement of “Dance of the Goblins” by my Dad, Dr. Wallace DePue Sr., with the Amici Strings.
