String quartet arrangement of the music from Claire and Jamie Fraser's wedding on Outlander. Perfect for weddings of Outlander fans or weddings with a Celtic / Scottish theme. Approximately 3:18 in length if played in full. Full score and individual parts included with purchase.

The blockbuster movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" was released in 2015 - and it was universally panned by critics. However, the movie's original soundtrack received much higher acclaim, and The Weeknd's single "Earned It" ended up receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. This string quartet arrangement brings the same sensuous feel, call-and-response echoes, dynamic contrasts, and exciting tension as the original, and even maintains the original song's dramatic string lines and tremolos! Great for pop concerts, dinners and events, or even weddings - this arrangement was initially commissioned for a bride's processional song. Rated advanced for the tricky rhythms and interlocking parts - this will be sightreadable for professionals, but probably a good idea to look it over first. Listen to the original song to get a feel for the rubato introduction and the slow but steady tempo. And above all, have fun! :)

Buona Sera by Louis Prima, arranged for string quartet by Alison Gillies.

Watch: https://youtu.be/OlbU6G3CObw

Sometimes titled Buona Sera, Signorina, this song is best known in the version performed by Louis Prima & His Orchestra in 1957. This arrangement has all the style of Prima's version, from the tango/habañera introduction to the double-time swing middle section, and the first violin part has a fun gypsy jazz-inspired solo to impress with! Aimed at advanced and professional players, this arrangement is perfect for functions and weddings.

Dawn, from the movie "Pride and Prejudice", composed by Dario Marianelli is a delightful addition to any string quartet book. It is great for weddings, anniversaries and parties. This piece was arranged by Kirstin Fife, a Los Angeles area composer and arranger. Score and parts are included.

A pumpin' arrangement of a Chili Peppers Classic for String Quartet.

All of my arrangements are well balanced, for an interesting concert performance, or for weddings/events.
All of my arrangements are idiomatic for strings, reasonably achieved on first reading, but hopefully make performers A) feel challenged to 'nail it' and B) find interesting details after many repeat performances.

Enjoy!!
Thanks

A captivatingly atmospheric and idiomatic arrangement of Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune" for string quartet, one if not THE most famous tune of French romantic music.
As performed by Ray Chen and his "Made In Berlin" string quartet.

This classic tune got a ride from holy to folk to Dies irae and back. Fasten your seat belts!
As performed by Ray Chen and his "Made In Berlin" string quartet.

?At Last? was composed by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical ?Sun Valley Serenade? in 1941. It was recorded by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, becoming a chart hit in 1942, and in 1960 by Etta James, who was subsequently inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The song is a frequent wedding favourite for quartets.

If you would like to watch a video of a professional quartet playing my arrangement on Youtube, look up my channel by typing Skinny Black Dogs-Capriccio Quartet-At Last.

This version of the song is for a professional/advanced quartet, as the opening is tricky for the first violin. However, most of the double stopping includes open strings for at least one of the notes. I have spread the melody across each member of the quartet so that everyone has their place in the sun! As a cellist myself, I know that my part can sometimes be a bit dull, so the cellist gets a lot of the tune! In the solos I have sometimes tried to approximate the feel of jazz by precisely notating the rhythms, but realistically I think it is better for each player to listen to different versions of the song and to play it,to some extent, by ear in order to feel the syncopation. It needs to have a ?rubato? melody, but with the accompaniment as a rock solid 12/8 beat, albeit with an emphasis on the ?off beat? which I have notated with an accent. I also recommend grace notes and glissandi to enhance the bluesy mood.I think Capriccio Quartet does this beautifully!

As well as this version for Quartet, I also have another arrangement of the song in the same key for String Quartet and Female Singer. You can find it uploaded to Sheet Music Press, and is recorded by Capriccio Quartet with my daughter singing.The accompanying parts are almost identical, but each player has more double stopping in the Quartet version. It is in the same key. Have fun and post me any recordings. I can be found on Facebook very easily.

"Rather Be" was released as a single from Clean Bandit's first studio album in 2014, and it quickly became a huge hit, reaching number one on the Billboard charts in 12 countries and selling enough copies to get certified triple platinum. So you really can't go wrong having this one in your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for string quartet brings to life the bouncy EDM beat, staccato string figures, soaring melodies, and lush harmonies of the original song for a fun and energetic chart that's just as much fun to play as it is to listen to! Originally commissioned for a wedding recessional, this chart will also be perfect for receptions, cocktail hour, pop concerts, parties, or any other occasion that you need to get your audience dancing. Rated advanced for some complicated rhythms throughout that go by pretty fast -- I definitely recommend running through this one or getting familiar with the original before performing.
