Originally inspired by a spiritual, "Stand By Me" was written and recorded in 1961 by famed R&B singer-songwriter Ben E. King. The catchy, soulful tune immediately went to #1 on the R&B charts, and ended up becoming a Top Ten on the Billboard charts twice -- once for its original release, and again in 1986 when it was used as the theme song for a movie of the same name. This song has been deemed "culturally and historically significant" and it has remained one of the most beloved songs in history for decades, so you can't go wrong having this one in your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your two-violin and cello trio maintains the fun groove, catchy melody, and joyful feel of the original, while adding in a number of beautiful harmonic and countermelodic layers that put this chart above and beyond the rest! Rated intermediate -- there are some fun syncopated rhythms throughout, but none of the parts go above 2nd position, and this will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.

Although Paul Dessau's Second String Quartet is very closely related to twelve-note music, it cannot be said to owe its inspiration to the serial method in the strictest sense. Rene Leibowitz had introduced the composer to the fascinating world of Schoenberg's twelve-note music during his first period of exile in Paris. With this String Quartet Dessau then worked out his own way of playing with the aesthetics of modern composition. Dessau works dodecaphonic constructions into the two lengthy movements - Andante con tenerezza and Adagio - without imposing them in dogmatic fashion. Disciplined thematic work is developed in a densely polyphonic setting to create a tightly structured landscape of laconic sententiousness.

Gathering Starflowers distils, in the form of a symphonic poem interspersed with narratives commenting on the story, elements of Günter Grass? 1969 novel - Local Anaesthetic - itself a powerful satirical polemic on the futility and wastefulness of war. In his novel, Grass has two of his characters, who lived through the 1939-1945 war as teenagers, continually relive it and relive major battles of the campaign in the East to overcome the Red Army and win Russia for the German Reich.

Gathering Starflowers is written to be performed as a melodrama. A 'drama with music'. The drama will be provided by a narrator who will read excerpts from Local Anaesthetic interspersed with dramatic dialogues from which the audience will learn a little about the main protagonists of Günter Grass? novel. The music, especially composed by Chris Gordon, is for two pianos.

Please note: this volume contains only the music for 2 pianos for Gathering Starflowers.

Indie pop singer Ruelle began her career as a country rock artist, but ended up switching to a more cinematic electro-pop style of music. With her songs featured on dozens of TV shows and movies, she has become a cult favorite artist, and her song "I Get To Love You" is (so far!) her biggest hit on the Billboard charts. The song has since become a wedding-music staple - in fact, this arrangement was originally commissioned for a bride's processional. Perfect for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, and even proposals, this arrangement for string trio (two violins and cello) maintains the beautiful layered harmonies and string lines of the original song, with the underlying heartbeat of the piano line represented in the violin parts. Playable for students and sightreadable for professionals - rated advanced intermediate only for a handful of unusual rhythms and the left-hand stamina the violinists will need for the etude-like piano line! :)
