Winter soundscapes is a collection of seven evocative sound pictures which conjure up the landscapes and feelings of a traditional hard winter. The pieces contrast one another with relaxed fireside scenes next to relentless snowstorms allowing young players to experiment with a number of styles and techniques. This is a great alternative to carols for December concerts and suitable for working on long after Christmas too. Ideal concert fillers for the Intermediate string quartet with the added flexibility of a violin 3 alternative to viola.

Six songs written specially for Linda McCartney in arrangements for string quartet. Paul McCartney's unmistakable melodic and rhythmic style come to the fore in these beautiful pieces. They are presented here in skilful arrangements by Michael Thomas Robert Pansera and the Loma Mar Quartet.
