James Rae
Arranged for beginners, these well-known and original pieces will successfully launch instrumentalists into the exciting and rewarding world of ensemble playing.

An optional supporting piano part is provided to reinforce the ensemble if necessary. “Although very elementary, the pieces are substantial enough to be presented as ensemble performance material for music festivals or examinations.
