“Joanne Martin’s contributions fall into three main categories: as an instrumental teacher she has a distinguished career and has been appointed one of the very few Suzuki teacher trainers in Canada. As an educator, she has created I Can Read Music, one of the few music-reading books that are interesting and effective. As a composer and arranger, she has produced an impressive volume of music for various ensembles, with the idea of encouraging students and amateurs to enjoy playing together.”
— Katharine Rapoport, Canadian Viola Society Journal, Spring 2005

Two lively numbers from what may be Offenbach’s most famous operetta, La Vie Parisienne, arranged for intermediate to advanced level violin, viola, or cello quintet. The Rondeau des Métamorphoses is a light and lively melody, and the well-known Cancan brings visions of high-kicking dancers in brightly coloured costumes. The violin, viola, and cello versions are fully compatible. The melody passes around the ensemble, and the parts are of equal difficulty.
