The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625), arranged for 5 cellos by Miranda Wilson. This PDF file contains the score and 5 parts.

Possibly Ennio Morricone's most famous composition, Chi Mai has been used in many movies, TV shows and adverts since its composition in 1971. Play the haunting theme in the ultimate version for cello quartet, capturing all the atmosphere of the original.

Winkmusic.co.uk produces the highest quality arrangements. Tried and tested at 5* venues and concert halls, only the best make the cut. Previous commissions have appeared on Sunday Times Top 100 Albums of 2016, and are played by Classic FM chart-toppers and at festivals across the world.

A fun, challenging arrangement for four cellos, preferably five if you can find a fifth cellist. Originally for voice and piano, this version also has elements of Berlioz' and Liszt's orchestral adaptations.

Cellos 1-4 each take one of the vocal "parts"
Cello 1: the narrator
Cello 2: the son
Cello 3: the Erlkonig
Cello 4: the father

The accompanying parts are passed around among the players, so nobody is playing endless triplets. Parts 1-4 all get the melody and the opening "horse" theme.

All parts go into treble clef. All parts are difficult, but parts 4 and 5 are easier than the others.
