Written by band guitarist Matt Slocum, Kiss Me is a delightfully dreamy rock/pop song, which became a staple of the late 90s and early 2000s. Released in August 1998, the song was a worldwide success, also featuring prominently in TV show Dawson?s Creek, and 1999 American teen romantic-comedy film She?s All That (an adaptation of My Fair Lady).

This energetic arrangement in D major would be an excellent addition to any string quartet?s repertoire, especially for weddings and functions. The lead melodies are mainly carried by Violin I and ?Cello, with the syncopated rhythms of the guitar riff maintained within the ensemble, ensuring all members of the quartet can enjoy playing this 90s classic.

Beat it! is a piece for 7 musicians using untuned percussion. I was finding it hard to find ensemble pieces for mixed ability groups so decided to write my own. Within the piece you will find parts suitable for very new players alongside some for the more experienced musicians. The instruments involved should be easy to find in most band room environments but, as the parts are all non-melodic, they lend themselves easily to replacement instruments and duplicating parts for additional players. There is a strong focus on groove and interplay between musicians, perfect for developing cohesion in your ensemble. The piece has been well received in national festivals within the UK.
