String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1195784 Composed by Hanley Macdonald, Mack /Johnson, Donaldson/Kahn. Arranged by Des McNutty. Broadway,Classical,Jazz,Musical/Show,Standards,Wedding. Score and parts. 46 pages. Des Press #794950. Published by Des Press (A0.1195784). Original arrangements for String Quartet (Back Home Again in) Indiana (Hanley/MacDonald) The Charleston (Mack/Johnson) I Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight (Donaldson/Kahn) Arranged by Des McNutty Charleston Times was first punished by Chugnut Press in 2000 and distributed by SJ Music, following the long-winded and arduous challenges of obtaining licences from various copyright-owners by snail-post. Arrangeme has simplified this process considerably! Thanks! The notes are unchanged; only the layout has been revised. This much-demanded re-issue marks 100 years of that iconic dance, The Charleston, from the Broadway show Runnin' Wild (1923), which entered the public domain in 2019. Indiana and I Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight are staples of the 1920's canon. These original arrangements are not based on previously-existing versions, although Indiana is mashed up with interpolations of a well-known work from the late 18th-century.... The level is on the easier side of “advanced�; quickly rehearsed by professional quartets and an accessible challenge for experienced students.
