Solo and Small Group Introduction
Salt Cellar Creations offers a growing library of music for soloists and small groups, with difficulty levels that range from Easy Intermediate to Advanced Intermediate. Currently, we have a limited number of pieces for Piano Solo, Flute and Recorder Duet, Trumpets, and one that is playable by a variety of instruments.
There are also a couple of pieces that are listed under Concert Band that could be played by a small wind ensemble. They are The Cantummit Waltz, and its companion piece, The Humble Waltz.
You probably have a few questions about Salt Cellar’s music for Solo and Small Groups:
Q. – What if the music you offer doesn’t have the parts that I need?
A. – Just contact us and we’ll arrange for your ensemble. Often, that service is free. There may be a small fee if the arrangement requires writing totally new parts.
Q. – What if I need the music in another key?
A. – Again, contact us and it’s no problem to change keys for the whole piece. That service is also free. Remember that Salt Cellar has researched the best keys for different musicians and has matched the key used in the music to the target skill level of the piece.
Q. – Can you compose a special piece just for me or my Small Group?
A. – We can do that in one of two ways.
- The first way is for us to do a truly commissioned piece. It will be composed with you or your group as its target skill level, with the type of music you’re looking for, and, most importantly, you or your group will be the only one to be able to perform it. The cost for this can range from several hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars, depending on the length of the piece and its complexity.
- The second way is much more affordable. We can write a piece for you or your group with your style generally in mind. We can offer it to you first and then wait an agreed upon length of time before we offer it for sale, so that you will be the only one to use it for a certain competition or exposition. Then, we will offer it for sale like any other piece of music. The cost will be a small multiple of a normally priced piece. That way, I can help you get a sound more like you prefer at a cost that you can afford.
A. – The answer depends on the length of the piece and its complexity. It can take from three to twelve months from the initiation of the work until the music has been completed.
Salt Cellar Creations reserves the right to refuse to do any arranging, composing, transcription or any other musical work that contradicts the morals and values held by the owner.
