Thank you for checking out my String Quartet arrangement of ?Paparazzi? by Lady Gaga. This arrangement can also be performed with a String Trio, since the 2nd Violin part is optional. This song has a tango feel to it, so it fits very well in a cocktail hour or dinner party!

This is just one of my many special arrangements. Check out my full listing on Sheet Music Plus! I am always adding new items for String Duo, Trio, and Quartet. One thing that sets my arrangements apart from others is that I fit all of my parts on 2 sheets of music. This makes it so the songs can fit into a binder, without the need for flipping pages!

Another great thing (for multi-instrumental arrangements) is that I include cue lines on each part, so that every player in the ensemble can see one other person?s music at the same time. This is so amazingly useful and has saved countless performances in the past. If someone skips a beat or misses a measure, you can now see where they are and reconnect! This also helps with sight-reading and keeping the group together in general.

This popular hymn composed in 1861 is arranged for intermediate string trio (violin, viola, cello). Each player gets a turn at the melody, or part of it. The piece begins as a duet between violin and viola. The second stanza brings in the cello. Lots of nice interplay among the three parts. Suitable for worship services and church concerts. Concert key: G major.
