Description
INTERMEDIATE, STRING QUARTET
Many people know that the words for The Huron Carol were written by Father Jean Brebeuf in 1643, but few people know that it is based on a sixteenth century French carol Une Jeune Pucelle. The composer Charpentier (1643-1704) quoted this popular melody in his Messe de Minuit pour Noel. Through the use of some special effects, I have tried to imitate the sounds of the wind and drums.
Notes: natural harmonics, artificial harmonics
double stops, pizz
Key: D major
Level II
