String Quartet String Quartet - Level 5 - Digital Download
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!
