By Pick 'n' Mix Strings. By Traditional New Zealand Sea Shanty. Arranged by Sarah McLellan. Folk,Multicultural,Traditional,World. 11 pages. Sarah McLellan #1017093. Published by Sarah McLellan (A0.1437025).
This much loved sea shanty is arranged here for Junior String Quartet (2 Violins, Viola & Cello) with an Optional Piano Part also included. This arrangement would suit string players who are ABRSM Grade 1 - 2 level. The melodic interest of the Verses is passed between players, whilst the catchy, repeated Chorus section provides a great hook for everyone to join together throughout the piece.
If you have a mixed ability quartet and need a variety of different level parts, you can combine any of the parts from this Junior Quartet Arrangement, with parts from either the Advanced or Intermediate Quartet Arrangements if need be. (All parts will fit together between the different levels. E.g. you could combine 2 players reading from the Junior Quartet parts and 2 players reading from the Advanced/ Intermediate Quartet parts if you wish).
You can also find some play-along videos for Open String parts on YouTube @PicknMixStrings, which will fit alongside this quartet arrangement - should anybody wish to do a combined performance with beginner string players - or even boomwhackers or rainbow bells - and this Junior Quartet.
