Sites which are chosen as "Award Websites" by the Internet
Cello Society, and which are featured on this page, are allowed to use the
I.C.S. "Seal of Excellence" on their sites. We invite our readers
to nominate interesting cello websites that they would like to be considered
for this recognition in the future. At least one site per month will be
selected based on its content, cello relevance, creativity and presentation
style!
This website explores the advantages that the cello has over the guitar when accompanying singers and other instruments in traditional or folk music.
This includes an essay by cello historian Dimitry Markevitch as well as
links to other sites on cello in traditional music, cello accompaniment
concepts, a baroque cello page, and Scottish Fiddle tunes for cello.
