Three New Arrangements by Nick Halsey
We have some more great pieces arranged specifically for our group by our resident composer Nick Halsey ( www.CelloExpressions.com ) for our January playin. We thought a new year deserved more than just one new piece! Nick has arranged two new pieces: Bach's Chorale 43, Ermuntre Dich mein Schwacher Geist and Strauss' Auld Lang Syne , and a new composition created by Nick called March .
