    Default ISO music for Vivaldi concerto

    The Baltimore Mandolin Orchestra is looking for the mandolin orchestral accompaniment for Vivaldi's Concerto in G Major for Two Mandolins. We have the two solo mandolin parts and an incomplete and not very legible set of the rest of it. We're not looking for the string version, but one specifically for mandolin orchestra. In addition to the other (non-solo) mandolin parts, we would need mandola (in treble clef) mandocello (in bass clef) and guitar and bass parts. Anybody have it? Or know where to get it? Does one even exist? Thanks.

    In addition to the various string orchestral versions on IMSLP and at Trekel, there is as far as I can see only one arrangement for mandolin orchestra in print -- the Trekel edition arranged by Siegfried Behrend:

    http://trekel.de/de/11859-konzertgdur.html

    The score and all individual parts can be ordered separately from Trekel. I should say that I don't have that edition and can't say anything about its quality. I have however played a number of Behrend editions of Baroque pieces for mandolin orchestra and generally like them. Most Behrend editions published by Trekel are from the 1960s or early 70s, and may not be as pretty as more recent editions.

    The Behrend edition is perfectly fine and standard. The mandola part will be in treble clef. Presumably you want this edition because it has a guitar part, which Behrend realized from the figured bass. So, as Martin says, just order what you need from Trekel.

    Alternatively, you could write to Alex Timmerman. Het Consort plays a version for mandolin orchestra. I don't know, however, is this is just the Behrend edition or Alex's; if the latter, perhaps he would share.

    Thanks. I already PM'd Alex, waiting for a response.
