The Sheep May Safely Graze is from Bach Cantata no. 208. It has been arranged for many combinations of instruments. This is a nice addition to the collection. Basically it is the tune in the organ with violin solo obligado. This obligado solo part could probably be used with a choral setting too. It makes for a nice prelude piece in a church service or possibly in a funeral setting.

Pachelbel's Canon is the common name for an accompanied canon by the German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel in his Canon and Gigue for 3 violins and basso continuo (German: Kanon und Gigue für 3 Violinen mit Generalbaß) (PWC 37, T. 337, PC 358), sometimes referred to as Canon and Gigue in D or Canon in D. Neither the date nor the circumstances of its composition are known (suggested dates range from 1680 to 1706), and the oldest surviving manuscript copy of the piece dates from the 19th century.

Pachelbel's Canon, like his other works, although popular during his lifetime, went out of style, and remained in obscurity for centuries. A 1968 arrangement and recording of it by the Jean-François Paillard chamber orchestra gained popularity over the next decade, and in the 1970s the piece began to be recorded by many ensembles; by the early 1980s its presence as background music was deemed inescapable. From the 1970s to the late 2010s, elements of the piece, especially its chord progression, were used in a variety of pop songs. Since the 1980s, it has also been used frequently in weddings and funeral ceremonies in the Western world.

The canon was originally scored for three violins and basso continuo and paired with a gigue. Both movements are in the key of D major. Although a true canon at the unison in three parts, it also has elements of a chaconne.

This is a special arrangement of the famous Pachelbel Canon for three violins, with the continuo part arranged for a fourth violin. It means it can be played without keyboard accompaniment and, as with all my four violin arrangements, makes a handy ensemble piece in situations where there are no lower strings or keyboard player available. It was a popular favourite with the Spring Quartet www.springquartet.co.uk before the lockdown! david@springquartet.co.uk

This is an arrangement for String Quintet of G. F. Handel's "Thine Is The Glory" (Maccabeus) for violin I & II, viola, cello, piano, and an optional contra bass part as well. It was written for Welch College's 2021 graduation processional and written in a way to easily repeat the verses and last chorus for the proper amount of time needed for the processional. It would also work well for weddings and sacred settings. Written in the key of C, it makes for very comfortable congregational singing as well. This may be played as a string quartet without the piano as needed. There is a separate part for each instrument in the score.

Pachelbel's famous canon is a staple of any gigging quartet's repertoire. Probably the most requested piece for wedding ceremonies, it makes perfect entrance music as it is easy to stop at any time without sounding 'unfinished'.

This arrangement has a reimagined bass line to keep the cellists happy!

After playing hundreds of events throughout the years I have finally put some of my personal arrangements down on paper. This version of Air eliminates the sul G and replaces it with more lush chords. It is a solo violin version that works great for weddings and other events. This is both a challenging work to practice a multitude of chords and a great performance piece.

For those who are still progressing, the chords can be omitted where needed to make the piece more approachable.

Johann Pachelbel (1653 ? 1706) was a German composer, organist, and teacher who brought the south German organ schools to their peak. He composed a large body of sacred and secular music, and his contributions to the development of the chorale prelude and fugue have earned him a place among the most important composers of the middle Baroque era.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 ? 1750) was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist whose ecclesiastical and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity.

Simon Mayor presents five short string quartets on themes by Turlough O?Carolan.
Also suitable for mandolin family instruments.

Turlough O?Carolan is one of Ireland?s most celebrated baroque composers, responsible for some of the strongest and grandest melodies to come out of his homeland. He was a great friend of his Italian contemporary Corelli, who spent some time in Dublin and had a significant influence on O?Carolan?s music. But traditional music was an influence too, and, stylistically, his compositions occupy a fascinating middle ground between these two genres.

Contents: Carlan?s Frolics, Hewlett, Lord Brabazon, Princess Royal, Lord Inchiquin.

The audio sample here, part of Princess Royal, is of an impromptu 'read off' by seven string players, so most lines have two instruments. It's only an extract, but gives a flavour of the music.

This is the complete third suite of The Water Music by Handel arranged here for string quartet. This suite is a brilliant example of some of the best baroque music ever written. Split into 7 movements, each with a fantastic variety of moods and textures. This is perfect music for both recital and background purposes.

The parts are equally challenging, with interest for each part throughout making it a satisfying and enjoyable arrangement to perform and listen to.

Les Indes Galantes (French: "The Amorous Indies") is an opera by Jean-Philippe Rameau with a libretto by Louis Fuzelier. It takes the form of an opéra-ballet with a prologue and (in its final form) four entrées (acts). Following an allegorical prologue, the four entrées have distinct and separate plots, but are unified by the theme of love in exotic places (The Ottoman Empire, Peru, Persia, and North America). The most famous pieces from the work, Danse des Sauvages and the final Chaconne, come from the final entrée (Les sauvages).

The premiere, including only the prologue and the first two of its four entrées (acts), was staged by the Académie Royale de Musique at itstheatre in the Palais-Royal in Paris on 23 August 1735, starring the leading singers of the Opéra, Marie Antier, Marie Pélissier, Mlle Errémans, Mlle Petitpas, Denis-François Tribou, Pierre Jélyotte, and Claude-Louis-Dominique Chassé de Chinais, and the dancers Marie Sallé and Louis Dupré. Michel Blondy provided the choreography. The ballet's Premier Menuet was used in the soundtrack of the 2006 film Marie Antoinette.

The Sauvages: The stage shows a grove in a forest in America, on the borders of the French and Spanish colonies, where the ceremony of the Peace Pipe is about to be celebrated

Adario, a Native American, is in love with Zima, daughter of a native chief, but he fears the rivalry of the Spaniard Don Alvar and the Frenchman Damon (Air: Rivaux des mes exploits, rivaux des mes amours). The Europeans plead with Zima for her love, but she says Damon is too fickle and Alvar is too jealous; she prefers the natural love shown by Adario (Air: Sur nos bords l'amour vole) and the couple vow to marry (Duet: Hymen, viens nous unir d'une chaîne éternelle). The act ends with the Europeans joining the natives in the ceremony of peace (Chorus: Forêts paisibles).
