String quartet arrangement

The pdf contains score and parts.

The original words come from 2 verses of Schiller's Seelig durch die Liebe [Through love they are made blessed]. 

The music is based on the oboe solo at the beginning of the slow movement of Brahms' Violin Concerto, arranged by Duncan Saunderson and adapted by David Warin Solomons.

The Schiller poem:

Liebe rauscht der Silberbach,
 Liebe lehrt ihn sanfter wallen,
 Seele haucht sie in das Ach
 Klagenreicher Nachtigallen -
 Liebe Liebe lispelt nur 
 Auf der Laute der Natur



Weisheit mit dem Sonnenblick,
 Große Göttin tritt zurück,
 Weiche vor der Liebe.
 Nie Erobrern, Fürsten nie
 Beugtest du ein Sklavenknie,
 Beug' es itzt der Liebe. 

(singing translation by David W Solomons)

Silver brook resounds with love
Love then teaches it to soften
Breathing soul into the cry
of lamenting nightingales
Love, love whispering only the
Sound of nature. 

Wisdom with sun that- glances,
Wisdom great goddess
Go- ye back and yield before love
Never bend your knee to princes
Nor bow as slave to conquerers
Bow now to love.

SKU: A0.800206

By Ellie Goulding. By Mike Scott. Arranged by Samantha J Bramley - stringspirational@gmail.com. Pop. Score and parts. 7 pages. Samantha Bramley #4803533. Published by Samantha Bramley (A0.800206).

Perennial wedding favourite by Ellie Goulding arranged for string quartet, with the melody being passed from violins to violas and finally to the 'cello. One of my Perfect Processionals series and is an absolute must-have in the Wedding Album of any String Quartet.

Note from the arranger: All my arrangements for strings are conceived specifically with the aim of writing interesting parts for all players. Most parts do not go beyond 4th position, making them suitable for student and mixed ability groups. A complete score and set of individual parts (violin, violin 2, viola, ‘cello) is included. Enjoy and feel free to email comments or requests for other works to stringspirational@gmail.com

Keep Calm & Play Strings!

The Wedding Season can be really painful for lower string players in any ensemble. Playing ‘cello in a Wedding String Quartet makes me want to cry. That is why I have created a series of arrangements called Perfect Processionals of all the most popular modern wedding favourites. They are all around 90 seconds long, being the perfect length for a Bride to walk down the Aisle, and are guaranteed not to bore the pants off your violist or ‘cellist. No more bashing out bass notes for the ‘cello, and no more chugging away on the off-beat for viola while the fiddles get soaring melody after soaring counter-melody. We deserve more than this, right guys? You got it!

Composed by Christopher Gleeson. Contemporary. Score and parts. 53 pages. Christopher gleeson #4580451. Published by christopher gleeson (A0.969656).

This early work has the caption - 'In desolation friends bring solace'. It was born of painful personal experience, crying out for consolation and reflecting on the playfulness of love lost. The piece works its way to happier moods and a kind of joyfulness and peace toward the end. It is in 4 movements.
