String Quartet String Quartet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.842478 By Avril Lavigne. By Avril Lavigne, Stephan Moccio, and Travis Clark. Arranged by Ben Clapton. Pop. Score and parts. 20 pages. Ben Clapton #4579601. Published by Ben Clapton (A0.842478). Coming from Avril Lavigne's sixth studio album, Head Above Water was Lavigne's first single since 2015. The song details her struggle with Lyme disease, writing I had accepted death and could feel my body shutting down. I felt like I was drowning. Like I was going under water and I just needed to come up for air. Like I was in a river being pulled in a current. Unable to breathe. Praying to God for Him to help me just keep my head above the water. To help me see through the stormy weather.Head Above Water is a powerful, spiritual epiphany (Marina Pedrosa, Billboard), with a highly personal note (Robin Murray, Clash). A pop rock ballad that could just as easily fit as a praise and worship song.This arrangement for String Quartet has the melody mostly in the Violin 1 part, with one section with the melody taken into the Cello - where it goes into the Treble Clef to a C above Middle C.

Christian,Contemporary,Easter,Praise & Worship,Religious. 8 pages. Charles Gunsaullus #1046990. Published by Charles Gunsaullus (A0.1468808). Here is a simple but effective arrangement of the popular hymn Before the Throne of God Above.  It is perfect for any occasion that requires religious music such as a wedding or regular church service.  This arrangement is good for an intermediate ensemble that is comfortable playing in three flats as there is a modulation in the second half.  The 1st violin goes to the high Eb in 4th position, and the viola part requires third position.

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.510255 Composed by Dorothy Heyward, Du Bose Heyward, George Gershwin, and Ira Gershwin. Arranged by Alex Phillips-Yates. Broadway,Jazz,Musical/Show,Opera. Score and parts. 15 pages. North Node Music #3493491. Published by North Node Music (A0.510255). This arrangement of this beautiful duet from Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess is a great opportunity for a string quartet to show off their expressive playing, and by working on the rubato together, they will be able to breathe as one and produce a moving performance.There is some double-stopping in the inner parts, but some fingerings have been added where they might be useful. The 1st violin part does not go above 5th position, and the other parts do not go above 3rd or 4th. There is plenty in this arrangement to keep each player busy and interested, and there is a lovely counter-melody for the viola in the second half.

String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1086056 Composed by W. Brent Sawyer. 20th Century,Contemporary,New Age. Score and parts. 25 pages. Diamond S Music #655247. Published by Diamond S Music (A0.1086056). I wanted to write something that was fairly simplistic and calm - In harmony, chords, textures and ideas. The beginning is just a rocking back and forth between an E flat major chord to a C major chord although neither are in root position. Above this chordal ostinato the Solo Violin soars on several different modes and has an interesting quintuplet rhythm against the accompaniment. In the second part the upper voices rock back and forth to mostly major triads above a pizzicato cello. The fourth section introduces a compound meter feel (triplets) and melodic fragments that is volleyed from part to part. The fifth section has the upper strings on a glassy harmonic that mirrors the opening rocking chords. This time a Solo cello takes the melody in a high tessitura. The next section echos the second section but is transposed a third lower. The transition expires a rocking back and between the E flat major and E flat minor obstinato before settling in on a bookend of the opening with a ever so slightly extended ending.

GuarrineMusic #5372019. Published by GuarrineMusic (A0.785981). Another song written by Hank Williams and recorded by Big Bill Lister in 1951, this fiddle-feel, toe-tapping arrangement for string orchestra with the melody in violin 1, does however have violin 2 playing harmony above the melody sometimes (violins never plays higher than G above the staff). Played in the key of G, 2/2 time and contains hooked bows (quarter and dotted quarter-eighth), staccato bowing, pizzicato bass. Also has a DS al coda, easy syncopation in vln. 1. Fingerings include L2’s in violins, L1 in viola, 2nd finger in ‘cello and bass. Also includes a violin 3 (vla) part.  Great for that end of the year concert and is VERY playable for your second year group.  Grade 2 

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1313969 By Hugh Levey. By Gustav Holst. Arranged by Hugh Levey. 20th Century,Advent,Christmas,Holiday,Religious. 14 pages. Woodwindly.com #902696. Published by woodwindly.com (A0.1313969). String Quartet In the Bleak Mid-Winter is a popular Christmas Carol which has been set to music by both Gustav Holst and Harold Darke. This string quartet arrangement is based on the Holst version and combines the composer's beautifully simple harmony with the arranger's own counter-melodies and intricate part writing. Lovely writing for all instruments. An ideal work for Christmas concert programming.This is a through-composed instrumental arrangement that explores the melody and harmonies of the Holst hymn in 3 differently arranged verses. After a short introduction the first verse uses Holst’s original 4-part harmonisation in its beautiful simplicity, with the first violin playing the melodic line. In verse 2, the viola presents the tune in a lower register while the 'cello plays a Baroque style ‘walking bass’. The violins weave countermelodies above them, introducing new material for a Pachelbel-like interlude of an ascending sequence - bringing the music to a climax before subsiding into verse 3. Here a slightly ornamented version of the tune returns with the new material continuing in the bass line. After another smaller climax we return to the original Holst as the work ends quietly and thoughtfully.

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.919024 Composed by Lindsay Higgs. Contemporary. Score and parts. 9 pages. Lindsay Higgs #2857733. Published by Lindsay Higgs (A0.919024). Sustained strings provide a backdrop as a meditative melody unfolds in the first violin of this short piece. 'Elegy' has received a good response when programmed  in a number of string quartet concerts and  it has also been used for a funeral service.The lower parts need careful bowing because of frequent sustained double stops. The violin part goes up to E above the staff. The approximate duration is 4 minutes.
