The Old Rugged Cross

$5.00

This viola solo begins with a flowing-like accompaniment and is then joined with a somewhat straight forward rendition of the traditional tune in the solo line. As it progresses it becomes more and more embellished. After a brief interlude by the accompaniment the solos continues in a highly embellished manner. While the piece is obviously technical it gives the skilled player an opportunity to display a lot of expression and add to the meaning of the hymn.
