Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1156597). Handel’s great set of 12 Concerti grossi (= Grand Concertos, in the first edition) op. 6 are somehow a bit related in spirit, through their power and diversity, with Beethoven’s string quartets.

Articulation, tempo and dynamics indications were specified or added where needed, and all the trills were indicated to start with the upper auxiliary note, not only according to the Baroque performance practice but also fitting to the melodic contour. Concerto grosso in B minor, op. 6 no. 12: 1. Largo-Allegro moderato – dramatic introduction, like in a French overture, then agitated and brilliant; 2. Aria (Larghetto) – soothing, with 2 variations; 3. Largo-Allegro – brief, tragic transition, then an animated fugue on a gigue-like theme. The mp3 audio clip is the final movement (Allegro).

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1193933 Composed by Richard H. Neiderhiser. Arranged by Lyndell Leatherman. Christian,Religious,Sacred. 31 pages. Leatherman Music Services #793403. Published by Leatherman Music Services (A0.1193933). Rev. Richard (Dick) Neiderhiser composed this basic tune years ago as a setting for an Advent hymn text. With his permission I later arranged the tune as a piano solo, adding a John Field theme as the basis for the introduction. Years later, after being stricken with cancer, Dick wrote this text to fit the piano arrangement. I then arranged the piece for SATB choir (opt. mixed quartet) and added this orchestration: string quartet /ensemble and flute or oboe.Sadly we had to say goodbye to Dick in 2022 as he made the crossing that he had so eloquently anticipated in this text.The demo mp3 is computer-generated, and thus lacks some of the nuance which you would–of course–include in live performance!The choral octavo (SATB and Piano with Flute or Oboe obbligato) is posted separately.
