Bring a Torch[, Jeanette, Isabella] is a French carol used as a hymn tune and associated with Christmas texts. This arrangement for cello duet features a casual style to leverage the flexibility of the duet format. Each part alternates playing the melody through a series of four stylistic variations. First, the accompaniment plays harmonics in ostinato. Next, dense arpeggios accompany a softer pair of verses. The third setting jumps to a loud and energetic double pizzicato (play as quickly and loudly as you can). Finally, a mix of conventional harmonies and descant lines conclude with a thicker harmony and some difficult double stops. The style is forgiving of missed notes if you hit as many as you can.
