Program note:

There is a famous photograph that Ruth Orkin took of a young American girl strolling in a street in Florence surrounded by ogling Italian men catcalling. She blithely went on her way, completely ignoring them***. It is such an iconic photo that I was inspired to write my 19th string quartet in honor of Miss Orkin's photograph. 

After some research I discovered that the girl in the photograph has a made-up name of Jinx Allen. Her real name is Ninalee Craig. Ruth Orkin befriended this young American compatriot and ended shooting a ton of photographs of her in that city. 

I decided that these exquisite photographs would become the titles of the movements for the string quartet. 

I. American Girl in Italy 
II. Jinx in Goggles 
III. Jinx @ AMEX 
IV. Treasure Tours 
V. Jinx Staring 
VI. Jinx with Statue 

From a Wikipedia entry on Jinx Allen: Many interpret the photograph as one of harassment and chauvinism. In 2014, Ninalee Craig said: At no time was I unhappy or harassed in Europe. The photograph is not a symbol of harassment. It's a symbol of a woman having an absolutely wonderful time! She has also noted that Italian men are very appreciative, and it's nice to be appreciated. I wasn't the least bit offended..

SKU: A0.977357

Composed by Sid Ramin. Arranged by Des McNutty. Contemporary. Score and parts. 16 pages. Des Press #6445797. Published by Des Press (A0.977357).

 Originally an instrumental jingle for Pepsi commercials by Sid Ramin, Music to Watch Girls By had already charted twice - thanks to The Bob Crewe Generation and Al Hirt – before Andy Williams’ vocal version, with lyrics by Tony Velona, appeared as a single from his 1967 album Born Free.

This arrangement for string quartet is a relatively straight-forward idiomatic transcription in the same tonalities as the original recording, so you could even play along with it for fun.

The level is on the easier side of advanced; quickly rehearsed by professional quartets and an accessible challenge for experienced students.

 Enjoy!

By Sia. By Jesse Shatkin and Sia. Arranged by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee. Contemporary,Pop. 15 pages. Sarah Cellobat Chaffee #987992. Published by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee (A0.1404956).

Chandelier was released in 2014 as the lead single from Australian singer-songwriter Sia's album 1000 Forms of Fear. Although the lyrics are melancholy and introspective in nature, describing the downward spiral of a party girl struggling with alcoholism and excess, its catchy hooks and soaring melodies soon captured the hearts (and karaoke playlists) of people around the world! The song received widespread critical acclaim and shot to the top of the charts in 20 countries; it received four Grammy nominations that year and was named by Billboard as the best song of 2014. So you really can't go wrong adding this one to your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet was originally written for a wow moment involving a massive LED chandelier at a corporate event in Las Vegas, and it truly brings the anthem to life with beautiful layered harmonies, dramatic dynamic variation, and of course the signature virtuosic chorus melodies of the original. You'll definitely get your audience singing along! Rated intermediate; this will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.

Composed by John Jacob Niles. Arranged by Joel Jacklich (ASCAP). Chamber,Christmas,Folk,Holiday,Traditional. 11 pages. Joel Jacklich #901221. Published by Joel Jacklich (A0.1312368).

I Wonder as I Wander by John Jacob Niles is here arranged by Joel Jacklich (ASCAP) for voice and string quartet.

� Wonder as I Wander nis a Christian folk hymn, typically performed as a Christmas carol, written by American folklorist and singer John Jacob Niles. The hymn has its origins in a song fragment collected by Niles on July 16, 1933.[1][2][3][4][5]

While in the town of Murphy in Appalachian North Carolina, Niles attended a fundraising meeting held by evangelicals who had been ordered out of town by the police.[1][5] In his unpublished autobiography, he wrote of hearing the song:

A girl had stepped out to the edge of the little platform attached to the automobile. She began to sing. Her clothes were unbelievable dirty and ragged, and she, too, was unwashed. Her ash-blond hair hung down in long skeins. ... But, best of all, she was beautiful, and in her untutored way, she could sing. She smiled as she sang, smiled rather sadly, and sang only a single line of a song.[2]

The girl, named Annie Morgan, repeated the fragment seven times in exchange for a quarter per performance, and Niles left with three lines of verse, a garbled fragment of melodic material—and a magnificent idea.[2][5] (In various accounts of this story, Niles hears between one and three lines of the song.[2][4][5][6]) Based on this fragment, Niles composed the version of I Wonder as I Wander that is known today, extending the melody to four lines and the lyrics to three stanzas.[2][3][5] His composition was completed on October 4, 1933.[2] Niles first performed the song on December 19, 1933, at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina.[2][6] It was originally published in Songs of the Hill Folk in 1934.[4][6]
