In Volume 2, Cello-(Phil-)Vielharmonie again covers a spectrum of about 400 years of music history. The book contains a selection ranging from Renaissance dances to Handels Largo and Mozarts Ave verum, from the Huntsmens Chorus of Webers Freischütz to Wagners Pilgrims Chorus and even to hits of the Comedian Harmonists.
The arrangements are conceived for four and five cellos and are easy to play. Though only the first part goes beyond the first position, the second does so occasionally and the third very rarely. This allows less experienced players to fully enjoy the rich cello sound. Tips and suggestions for the ensemble work round out the second volume of the Cello-(Phil-)Vielharmonie as well.

Preface:
As with the arrangements of the first book (KM 2288), the present arrangements were also written for my ensemble “Dr. Hochs Philharmonische Cellisten,” which consists of students of all ages from my cello class.
We have abided by the proven principle of covering a stylistic span of about four centuries with a number of arrangements, just as we have retained the familiar ambitus of the pieces, which corresponds approximately to that of a male chorus and thus nicely brings out the tenor and bass range, the cello’s intrinsic compass. In similar arrangements, one often encounters upper parts with high violin-like ranges that are usually too difficult for the ensembles that form the target group. For pedagogical and textural reasons, we have refrained from using such high positions in these arrangements. Given these circumstances, less advanced students can also play in the ensemble and enjoy the sound of their instrument without having to make any compromises on the musical quality of the pieces.
This book also contains the arrangements of some opera choruses. These are obviously better suited to a larger group setting, but are also charming in solo performance. Comments and suggestions for working with this book are found starting at page 36.
I wish you lots of fun and success with the new sequel to the Cello(Phil)Vielharmonie.
