Product Details


Product Description

Aura Lee is an American Civil War Song from 1861. The tune is familiar to modern audiences because Elvis Presley used the melody for his 1956 hit song "Love Me Tender." It is a sentimental ballad, but also a classic in American Folk Music. This arrangement for Violin & Cello begins with the instruments in very close harmony. For the second verse, the violin takes the melody up an octave while the cello plays accompanying pizzicato & arco arpeggiated figures. The violin then soars with an obligato descant while the cello plays the tune in its rich middle register. For a full circle ending, the "D.C al Fine" brings everyone back to the original close harmonies for the final statement of the tune.
