This arrangement features the theme and first variation from Brahms’ Variations on a Theme by Haydn. The theme is similar to my arrangements of St. Anthony Chorale, but with a more romantic era orchestration in its pairing with Brahms’ first variation. The variation is somewhat more difficult than the theme. Horn contributes substantially to the more romantic texture, with glockenspiel offering a nice contrasting texture to complete the blend over the cello ensemble base.
An edition of this arrangement is also available for String Quartet.
