Looking for chamber piece for 8 violins

January 13, 2010 at 02:32 AM ·

Hello! I'm looking for a piece that my 8 violins can play together. Doubling up on parts is not a problem, but I feel a duet might be pushing it. I'm looking for beginning-intermediate skill level. Does anyone know of any chamber pieces just for violins?

Thanks!
