String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.749754 Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by Stephen M. Taylor. Classical,Concert,Instructional,Wedding. Score and parts. 44 pages. SMT Music #5971157. Published by SMT Music (A0.749754). Mendelssohn was a musical genius and it's obvious when you consider he penned this astounding composition by the age of 16. He wrote the octet as a birthday gift for his friend and violin teacher Eduard Rietz who was 23 at the time. This arrangement makes it possible for a string quartet to play the 1st movement. It's not always easy to get eight accomplished string players to sit down and read through music and this might make it more accessible and practical to play. The 1st violin part is the same as it was penned by Mendelssohn. The other parts are condensed. It takes some practicing even to read the music as it's somewhat difficult. And since the parts are condensed it's difficult to manuever page turns. I'll leave that up to the players. Still, it's fun to play and can be performed if you can work out the page turns.Probably work great on an I pad for that. I'm old school so my generation does cutting and pasting as needed ! Have fun. Great for parties, background music, wedding reception and general string quartet gigs.. .

String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1494484 By Dua Lipa. By Andrew Wyatt Blakemore, Caroline Ailin, Dua Lipa, and Mark Ronson. Arranged by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee. Contemporary,Disco,Film/TV,Pop,Wedding. 17 pages. Sarah Cellobat Chaffee #1071068. Published by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee (A0.1494484). Special thanks to the Sienna String Quartet for their recording of this arrangement!You're probably familiar with this one, but here's a refresher just in case: Dance The Night was one of the most popular songs of the year, sung by one of the most popular singers of the decade, written for a movie about one of the most popular characters of the century -- with lyrics that also serve as a perfect allegory for performative life in the social media age. Need I say more? Originally written for the soundtrack of the 2023 feature film Barbie, Dua Lipa's smash hit Dance The Night is a disco-pop extravaganza that accompanies a dance sequence in the film. But the song quickly gained massive popularity outside of the silver screen, reaching the top of the Billboard charts and achieving multi-platinum certification in a number of countries. Critics praised not only the song's catchy grooviness and excellent production, but also its surprisingly introspective lyrics about the necessity of keeping up an immaculate public image even when your life is falling apart. But above all, this is a great song to get your audience dancing! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet is a harmonically lush and rhythmically vivacious take on the original -- you'll definitely have as much fun playing it as your audience will have listening to it!
