The Swan
The beautiful cello solo by Saint-Saëns set to a bossa nova accompaniment. It features the solo cello throughout, accompanied by smooth strummed guitar chords.

This versatile setting can be played in a variety of ways. Originally conceived to include clarinet, English horn, and trumpet, alternate parts are included to facilitate versatile performance possibilities.

A composite part is also included to facilitate performances with only one additional instrument.

Optional Latin percussion parts are also included.

An accompanying track is available below for complete freedom for the cello soloist.
