Sheet Music – Il Mandolini e Congresso (arrangement by Acquavella)

Free download – Here is the arrangement I did of Il Mandolini e Congresso by C.A. Bracco. This arrangement was for the 2014 San Diego Classical Mandolin Camp. I created this arrangement based on the participants signed up for the SDCMC. Each year we’ve had excellent mandocello players. I wanted to make sure they had a challenging part. Also, there is a liuto part which is “mandola 2” in the original score. All the notes are the same; I just changed the name of the instrument to liuto. I also had a need for a mandolin 3 section, which is not notated in the score. Mandolin 3 was created by combining the easier passages from the mandolin 2 & mandola parts. Il Mandolini e Congresso by C.A. Bracco is a fantastic piece in the romantic Italian style. It has many moods flowing from gentle river to raging ocean from section to section. I hope you enjoy this arrangement of an epic piece for mandolin orchestra.
