Product Description

Arranged for Violin 1&2, Viola and Cello, there is an alternative Violin 3 part and an optional Contrabass part which makes it available for String Orchestra.
In spite of its title, Elizabethan Serenade is a comparatively modern composition which was first performed by Mantovani in 1951. Originally called Andante Cantabile, Ronald Binge changed the name to reflect post-war optimism when Queen Elizabeth 11 came to the throne in 1952. Its popularity as a piece of light music and as a theme tune was further enhanced when lyrics were added in English and in several other European Languages.
