Chanson de Nuit, Op. 15, No. 1 - Elgar arr. Whittington (String Orchestra Grade 3.5)Chanson de Nuit is one of several short selections written by Elgar for violin and piano. Chanson de Nuit utilizes the lower and middle range of the violin extensively, creating a thick, rich sound. The sonorous voicings and lush underpinnings are a large part of the timeless appeal of this piece. This is a superb work to engage orchestras in finessing ensemble balance, timbre, and dynamic nuances. G Major.
