Transcription for Cello and Cello ensemble by Giovanni Sollima.
"Strike The Viol" by Henry Purcell is one of the coolest pieces in music history. It’s built on a ground bass and has a couple of versions by the same composer, essentially for voice. However, as in many cases, the vocal line is entrusted to an instrument. In those arrangements of mine, I was also freely inspired by Purcell's beautiful Fantasies for viol consort. This version is for a cello solo surrounded by a cello choir.
