String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1100574 Composed by Gustav Holst. Arranged by Emma Butterworth. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical,Patriotic. Score and Parts. 26 pages. Emma Butterworth #704290. Published by Emma Butterworth (A0.1100574). A hugely enjoyable arrangement for string quartet of the most famous movement from 'The Planets', which includes the well known melody that became 'I Vow To Thee My Country'. This arrangement is an abridged version of the original, at 5m30s long. All of Emma's arrangements find creative and artistic ways to re-present original pieces in a way that suits the new instruments and ensemble whilst maintaining the integrity of the original piece. Her aim is to go far beyond a simple copying of the melody and harmony, but to create an arrangement that sounds as if the piece was always meant for these new instruments. Emma Butterworth is a composer for film and TV and also a successful Suzuki cello teacher. She has an intimate knowledge of how to write for strings, and has written and arranged a vast number of pieces for cellos and strings especially. All pieces have been played and performed. www.emmabutterworthmusic.com.
