Arrangements
Notturno
for soprano and twelve cellos
Alexander Borodin
The beautiful Notturno, third movement of Borodin’s String Quartet Nº2 is sensitively treated for 12 cellos and a la vocalise part for contralto (soprano). Each cello plays an individual part transposed into a comfortable key while retaining all the lines and harmony of the original work.
Hey Jude
for saxophone quartet
John Lennon, Paul McCartney
Just a classic arranged in a choral style that transitions through something rhythmic
Hey Jude
for bassoon quartet
John Lennon, Paul McCartney
Just a classic arranged in a choral style that transitions through something rhythmic
Vincent (starry, starry night)
for bassoon quartet
Don McClean
Just a classic arranged in a choral style that transitions through something rhythmic
Sweet Dreams (are made of this)
for string quartet
Annie Lennox, David Stewart
I’ve attempted to create a really dramatic version of this iconic song for string quartet. Taking elements from the original it is arranged here to include alternative harmonies. The closing is really great and a challenge for the second violinist. Think Beethoven Harp Quartet!
You will find challenging sections and rhythmic interest that I hope translates into a well arranged piece of music.
Somebody to Love
for string quartet
Freddie Mercury
This iconic rock ballad from Queen deserves as much play time as any of the other bands’ songs
Dream a little Dream of me
for string quartet
The Mamas & The Papas
This great tune has been arranged to include a walking-bass line in the middle section which is super fun
