Cellist Gabriel Martins have been recomposing tunes from the past written for other instruments into new arrangements suitable for self-accompanied cello. His inspirations include Romantic solo piano, Irish harp music, Baroque work for viola da gamba, and more. Sheet music is available at his website gabrielmartinscello.com.

Here is Gabriel’s version of “Romanze” from Schumann’s solo piano work, “Carnival Scenes from Vienna”, Op. 26. It sounds hauntingly sad and Baroque, even when played on a modern cello setup.

Following is Gabriel’s transformation of Celtic harp music “Blind Mary” by Turlough O’Carolan into self-accompanied cello music.

Now Gabriel rearranged “The Human Voices” by Marin Marais for viola da gamba into self-accompanied cello music.

Following are 7 preludes Gabriel wrote himself.

As mentioned, all his recompositions are available in sheet music, available at his website gabrielmartinscello.com. Some of his earlier sheet music can still be found here for download – we suggest that you Venmo him some if you download these earlier PDF files.
