Platypus Music #989981. Published by Platypus Music (A0.1407306). This popular song from the 1966 movie Born Free arranged for string quartet should be performed quite slowly. Much of the melodic interest is contained in the 1st violin part. At one point the 2nd violin has some of the tune in octaves with the 1st violin. The viola and cello parts have undulating arpeggiated figures which provides movement in the arrangement.

Bud Caputo #3604189. Published by Bud Caputo (A0.826664). Close To You and We’ve Only Just Begun are two classic pop hits made popular by the Carpenters and would serve nicely as a back to back medley and crowd pleaser for all your audiences. Sheet Music Plus is bounded by copyright not to publish medleys; however, these two arrangements are sold separately and are brief enough to complement each other. They will be appreciated by several generations of audiences. The arrangements remain in first position but there is a bit of chromaticism associated with both; especially in We’ve Only Just Begun as the melody dictates a passage that modulates down a half-step.  Close to You begins in A Major and modulates to Bb.  We’ve Only Just Begun is in a comfortable D Major and modulates to G major.
