"Ave Maria" for Cello Duet. Time signature 4/4 - Key concert Bb Major (single parts included) .
"Ellens dritter Gesang" ("Ellens Gesang III", D. 839, Op. 52, No. 6, 1825), in English: "Ellen's Third Song", was composed by Franz Schubert in 1825 as part of his Op. 52, a setting of seven songs from Walter Scott's popular narrative poem The Lady of the Lake.
It is one of Schubert's most popular works. Beyond the song as originally composed by Schubert, it is often performed and recorded by many singers (Joan Baez, Stevie Wonder, José Carreras, Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Barbra Streisand and many more) under the title "Ave Maria".

The Serenade from the Petite Suite by Alexander Borodin, originally for piano, is here arranged for cello duet. This lively tune is well suited to string instruments, and the pulsing rhythmic accompaniment works well as pizzicato. For less advanced players, double stops can be simplified or eliminated, and some parts can be taken down an octave.
