The original Taylor Swift song, known also from the Netflix series „Bridgerton”, arranged for String QuartetIn my (and my string quartet collegues) opinion it sounds better than the Bridgerton versionI recommend it for at least intermediate/advanced musicians.Duration: around 3:00 min.TIPS Cello beats: I’m usually beating the upper half of the cello’s body, with two hands (bow down). Low beats with my right hand halfway between the side of the body and the strings, high beats with my left near the side of the body. Feel free to discover other places on the body (the cello’s body ;) :D ) Cello solo – letter ”J”: I think it sounds better on the A string, but if You have a bright D string, You can try there (the 1st violin helps a bit with pizzicato) Violins 1-2, bar 89: The first beat of the 1st violin should be very present, very active, then the 2nd violin should imitate it on the 2nd beat, like a fight. Viola – bars 91-92: You are leading! (Yeah! :D ) In general it’s better to listen to the original song before You start rehearsing. It helps a lot, nobody can write everything in the score, get inspiration from the original version!Stop The Waste! Let’s save some trees! I’m optimizing all of my arrangements to use less paper.This arrangement saved 4 sheets of paper per set.For more info, contact, etc. visit my Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/kovatsmusicGive it a thumbs up, thanks :).

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.548635 Composed by Mueller. Arranged by James M. Guthrie, ASCAP. Christmas. 7 pages. Jmsgu3 #3405927. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.548635). Away in a Manger arranged for string quartet with a re-harmonization for the final verse. Very easy to play and easy on the ear. Away in a Manger is a popular Christmas song published in the late 19th century and performed worldwide. In England, it is considered one of the two most popular carols of all time; a 1996 poll ranked it as a tie for second place. To begin with, many thought Martin Luther wrote it, but now the song is considered American. The most common musical arrangements are by William Kirkpatrick (1895) and James R. Murray (1887). The melody was first published as Luther's Cradle Hymn by James R. Murray. Then came a confusing series of explanations about how Martin Luther wrote the song. Murray even went so far as to suggest that Luther wrote it for his children. As a result, the music has become known as Mueller. Nobody knows who this Mueller is, but the name stuck. Popularity By the 1880's the cradle song was being performed in church. By the 1990's the song was becoming the most popular Christmas song ever. Nearly everyone sang it in school, in church, and at home. Other musical settings The first musical setting published with the lyrics appeared in the Little Children's Book for Schools and Families (1885). The title was Away in a Manger. This edition is the first one not attributing the song to Martin Luther. Charles H. Gabriel was the first arranger to present the third verse. He also composed and published many different arrangements of the music. In one of his settings, he supplies a chorus for each verse with asleep sung in canon. Another prevalent preparation uses the lyrics to the melody Flow Gently, Sweet Afton. Yet another arrangement uses the songs to an old Normandy carol.
