My first three etudes for cello choir provide an introductory opportunity for large groups of cellists to play ensemble music. Each etude is a single page and may be played individually or with the set. The short etudes work best for very large groups of cellists (more than two-to-a-part) and can also be played by groups as small as a quartet.

Difficulty varies by part; Cello 4 is easiest and Cello 1 is most difficult. Etudes #1 – 3 are all beginner-to-intermediate difficulty in their individual parts. Ensemble difficulty is primarily related to counting rests, becoming more difficult in Etude #2 and particularly in Etude #3. These cello choir etudes were originally written for the Boulder Cello Project in 2014:

Three Etudes for Cello Choir

All etudes for cello choir a published as scores only to promote ensemble reading and part switching opportunities. Additional, sequentially-numbered etudes for cello choir will be published over time.
