The famous melody as heard in "Shrek" arranged for young players! Set in 3/4 time, this very easy arrangement uses limited notes and simplified rhythms. For small ensemble, quintet, or string orchestra with optional Violin 3 part (Viola in treble clef).

Super Mario Bros was a super popular Nintendo game, but I think the song was even more so. Back in the 80's, game music was written to attract attention to the game itself, rather than enhance the player's experience during the game. It was more or less, just a catchy tune. However, when Koji Kondo wrote the music to Super Mario Bros, he created it as an active part of the game. This idea would help change game music forever.

I feel as if I don't need to give any comments on how to play this piece, but I will say that in the interest of not inundating the sheet music with dots everywhere, this song should be played staccato throughout the piece unless otherwise noted. Playing the piece entirely in pizzicato is a lot of fun too.

This piece has a lot of syncopation, but it is repetitive, so musicians with intermediate skills should be able to play this piece.

Scored for 2 violins, 2 violas, cello and double bass.

Duration: 2.5 minutes

This Greek folk song and dance gained great popularity, when director Quentin Tarantino used it in his 1994 film Pulp Fiction, and again when it was sampled in the Black Eyed Peas' song "Pump It" (2006). Have fun!

Instrumentation: Violin 1/2, Viola/Cello, Cello, Bass
