String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - SKU: A0.1518460 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Baroque,Chamber,Historic,Standards,Traditional. 25 pages. Jmsgu3 #1092559. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1518460). BWV 531, the Prelude and Fugue in C major, is an essential early organ work by Johann Sebastian Bach. Here are some key points about this composition:Composition and ContextIt was written around 1707 when Bach was in Arnstadt, making it one of his earlier organ works. It was composed during Bach's time as a church organist at the Neue Kirche (now called Bachkirche) in Arnstadt.Musical StructurePreludeIt opens with nine measures of solo pedals, featuring a recurring sixteenth-note figure and an unusual pedal trill. The manuals enter with a sixteenth-note figure in measure 10. It contains a 5-measure phrase of diatonic parallel sixths in the manuals with a pedal tone. It concludes with a fast, fantasia-like passage in the right hand, ending in a loud C major chord.FugueThe subject is introduced in the soprano voice and is two measures long, consisting entirely of sixteenth notes. It is also presented in the alto voice (transposed down a fifth) and tenor voice (down a fourth). Notably, the pedals never play the complete subject as initially introduced, only fragments of it.SignificanceThis piece is essential as an early example of Bach's organ writing. It showcases his developing counterpoint skill and ability to create complex, multi-layered compositions. The unusual features, such as the intro's pedal trill and the subject's treatment in the fugue, demonstrate Bach's innovative approach to organ composition even at this early stage in his career.

String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 2 - SKU: A0.1467042 Composed by English Traditional Song. Arranged by Nat Brookes. Classical,Folk,Pop. 8 pages. Nat Brookes #1045603. Published by Nat Brookes (A0.1467042). Scarborough Fair Arranged by Nat Brookes for String Quartet POP PADThis arrangement takes the tune of Scarborough Fair and has some fun with it. The arrangement starts with a very tasteful section where the tune is in Violin I and the other instruments support it with gently moving accompaniment. The second section is more animated and more liberal with the tune, featuring pizzicato in the Vioilin II, Viola and Cello parts and punctuated halfway through by an ostentatious arpegiated figure. The third section is a little more harmonically adventurous, the intensity of which can be tempered by reducing the volume in the accompanying parts. Lastly, the ending recapitulates the last phrase of the tune in a busy but harmonically and rhythmically simple manor bringing the peice to a definate full stop.This arrangement is rather versatile and could easily be addapted for more formal settings like Weddings. For example, you could simply ignore the pizzicato instruction and bow the central section, whilst the 1st Violin could play the unadorned version of the tune from the A section. In fact the accompaniment of the A section is so generously rich with subtle contrapuntal content, that a String Quartet could easily repeat it whilst varying the dynamics to good effect.Included: Score and set of parts.Each part is a single page longRehearsal marks throughout.You can help me to continue arranging pop songs by reviewing my arrangements (click the button below) and liking Pop Pad on Facebook.Find more great arrangements here: Sheet Music Plus ($) Sheet Music Direct (£)Thanks,Nat

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 1 - SKU: A0.549906 Composed by Various. Arranged by James M. Guthrie, ASCAP. Christmas,Standards. 69 pages. Jmsgu3 #3685895. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.549906). Christmas String Quartet Book Christmas Reharmonizations by James M. Guthrie. The Christmas String Quartet Book is a collection of the 18 Most Famous Christmas Songs with new and surprising harmony. Format First, your string quartet can perform the Christmas String Quartet Book directly from the score. This is easy because each song is only two pages long; hence, there are no page turns. Alternatively, this download includes a complete set of parts. So various combinations are also possible: e.g., violins read from the score on one stand, while the viola & cello each use the parts on separate stands. The Christmas String Quartet Book is available in whatever format works best for your ensemble. Performance This collection of the most famous 18 Christmas songs can be performed as a medley as written. Moreover, selected songs from the Christmas String Quartet Book could be chosen as the last verse of a hymn presentation. In this case, play the usual arrangement from the hymnal for the first verses, then switch to this arrangement for the final verse. This adds a great deal of energy and unexpected adventure to your performance. Each song could be repeated depending on the length of time required. This is a very versatile collection. Suitable for Christmas parties or receptions, church services and receptions, nightclubs, and school presentations. Also, they are very easy to perform or even sight-read. Music Each Christmas String Quartet Book song is adventurously reharmonized, but the melody always remains perfectly intact. This makes it easy for anyone to sing along. Moreover, the songs end correctly in the correct key to add an element of familiarity and closure. Tempo markings occur at the beginning of each piece, but you can adjust these to your liking.  Phrase markings appear throughout as a guide for bowing. Articulations are carefully calculated to emphasize the characteristics of the string instruments. Contents Veni, veni, Emmanuel (O Come, O Come, Emmanuel) Helmsley (Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending) Antioch (Joy to the World) Carol (It Came Upon a Midnight Clear) Es ist ein Ros (Lo, How a Rose) Gloria God Rest You Merry Greensleeves In dulci jubilo (In Thee is Gladness) Mendelssohn (Hark the Herald Angels Sing) Personet hodie The First Noel Salzburg (At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing) Three Kings of Orient Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful) St Louis (O Little Town of Bethlehem) Away in a Manger Stille Nacht (Silent Night) Score: 36 pages, Parts: 6 pages.

Broadway,Film/TV,Hip-Hop,Musical/Show,Pop,R & B. 17 pages. Jessica Davis #860092. Published by Jessica Davis (A0.1267554).

Â The piece can even be taught by rote with mostly simple repeating ostinatos throughout. Â For the most part, two instrument groups or more parallel each other at once, making this a great choice for beginning orchestra and note reading practice. Â The ending of the piece is a great chance to talk about key changes. Â There is also an optional violin, cello and and/or viola solo.

Ite missa estGuillaume de Machaut composed the Messe de Nostre Dame, also known as the Mass of Our Lady, in the early 1360s. He wrote the mass for the Cathedral at Reims, where he served as a canon, a permanent clergy member. According to a rubric found at the Cathedral, it would have likely been performed for the Saturday Lady Mass. Guillaume de Machaut's Messe de Nostre Dame is significant in the history of music for several reasons: It is the first complete setting of the Ordinary of the Mass by a single composer that has survived. It is a unified mass, meaning that the composer selected relevant chants for each section as the borrowed tenor. It was composed in four voices, which was unusual at the time. The texts of both Gloria and Credo are quite lengthy, and therefore Machaut set these movements in a style reminiscent of the earlier discant style, having short phrases, similar rhythmic motion in all parts, and a low ratio of notes per syllable of text, both ending with long, rhapsodic sections for the final word, Amen. Machaut's Messe de Nostre Dame is a landmark in musical history, but it is far from being avant-garde merely for the sake of uniqueness. It is considered to be a culmination of the musical style of the Ars Nova period, which was characterized by complex polyphonic textures and rhythmic innovations. The mass is also significant because it was composed during a time of great political and social upheaval in Europe, and it reflects the changing attitudes towards religion and music during this period. Overall, Machaut's Messe de Nostre Dame is a significant work that represents a culmination of the musical style of the Ars Nova period and reflects the changing attitudes towards religion and music during the 14th century. The mass consists of five movements: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei, followed by the dismissal Ite, missa est. The tenor of the Kyrie is based on Vatican Kyrie IV, the Sanctus, and Agnus correspond to Vatican Mass XVII, and the Ite is on Sanctus VIII. The Gloria and Credo have no apparent chant basis, although they are stylistically related to one another. The mass is a unified mass, meaning that the composer selected relevant chants for each section as the borrowed tenor.

String Quartet Cello,Double Bass,Piano,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - SKU: A0.1376321 By Heidi Savoie. By Heidi Savoie. Arranged by Heidi Savoie. Classical,Contemporary,Jazz,Pop,Singer/Songwriter. 15 pages. Heidi Savoie #960865. Published by Heidi Savoie (A0.1376321). This score is an arrangement for piano, violin I and II, viola, cello, bass with optional drums.Backstory: Years ago I wrote a simple piano piece for my students. As instrumental music can fully exist outside the confines of words, it can be difficult to find the right title for something that is pure sound and possibility. I took inspiration from the time of year in which I had composed it and stamped it, “Almost Mayâ€. Like springtime in the Northern Hemisphere, “Almost May†unfolds slowly and majestically, with ever-evolving layers for the senses to discover. What to listen for: ThemeThe main theme is first presented by the piano with minimal fanfare. This part was written to be easy enough for a child, which despite being sparing of notes, delivers rich harmonic content. Every note has been carefully curated for the optimal combination of accessibility and depth. Weaving chromatically into distantly-related keys, the melody takes small steps into contrasting musical spaces. In a wordless procession, the storyline plays out, as if the theme discovers that someone very different lives next door, and they slowly become inseparable. The piano is accompanied by an airy touch of brushes against a snare drum, like the pitter patter of soft feline steps. In the low frequency range, the upright bass supports and deepens the tonal palette with its earthy underpinnings. What to listen for: Variation I The unmistakable string section arrives like a breath of warm air. Lush, warm and reassuring like sunshine on your cheeks, the string parts begin with long tones. This broadness and stability will evolve into more layers of complexity throughout the section. While the role of the string section is background accompaniment, it undergoes textural changes which allow for some layers to briefly rise to the forefront as melody. Careful listening to the string parts will reveal an oceanic churning, a motion from background to foreground with expansions and contractions along the way. Floating overtop this density is the improvised piano solo, with ascending gestures that progress in detail and density. Each instrument enters a general unfolding and growth period in the first variation. The bass and drums include more fills than before, as the ensemble tends gradually toward more grandeur. What to listen for: Variation II The final variation opens with a decadent treatment of the melody. What was initially expressed by a soloist as a childlike plea is reimagined as a two-part conversation between the piano and lead viola. The obbligato voiced in the viola is a derivation of the melody that holds the space between phrases so the listener's attention is passed seamlessly between the piano and viola part. This dialogue features commentary on the original melody in the form of ornamentation and taking surprising pathways to expected destinations. The rhythm section (bass and drums) takes more liberties in creating a verdant soundscape as the ensemble rises to a final climax. Credits: I would like to thank Cole Canaday for the nuance, imagination and depth of understanding with which he brought this piece to life. I would also like to thank Blake Hamilton and Anastace for providing invaluable audio engineering feedback.
