No matter the occasion, string quartets are always in demand. Music for Celebrations features eight works by composers ranging from Marc-Antoine Charpentier to Charles Gounod which rank among the most popular wedding classics, with many of the pieces also well suited for other occasions. The arranger Anthony Gröger has succeeded in transforming the works, some of which originally had extensive instrumentation, into compelling string quartet arrangements that are also easy to play while preserving much of the familiar character of the originals. The third violin part, which can replace the viola part if no violist is available, is an added bonus.Er is altijd vraag naar strijkkwartetten voor diverse feestelijke gelegenheden. Music for Celebrations bevat acht werken van verschillende bekende componisten, van Marc-Antoine Charpentier tot Charles Gounod, die behoren tot de meest geliefde klassiekers voor bruiloften, maar veelal eveneens geschikt zijn voor andere gelegenheden. Arrangeur Anthony Gröger is erin geslaagd de stukken waarvan sommige oorspronkelijk voor een omvangrijke instrumentatie zijn geschreven te transformeren tot overtuigende, goed speelbare muziek voor strijkkwartetbezetting, waarin het vertrouwde klankbeeld grotendeels behouden is gebleven. Een handig extraatje is de toegevoegde derdevioolpartij, die de altvioolpartij kan vervangen als er geen altviolist beschikbaar is. Bei festlichen Anlässen diverser Art sind Streichquartette immer wieder gefragt. In Music for Celebrations sind acht Kompositionen von Marc-Antoine Charpentier bis Charles Gounod versammelt, die besonders auf Hochzeitsfeiern zu den beliebtesten Klassikern zählen, wobei viele der Stücke sich auch für andere Gelegenheiten bestens eignen. Dem Arrangeur Anthony Gröger ist es gelungen, die teilweise umfangreich besetzten Originalwerke in überzeugende, gut spielbare Streichquartettsätze zu verwandeln und dabei viel vom vertrauten Klangbild zu bewahren. Ein Bonbon ist die zusätzlich beiliegende dritte Violinstimme, die anstelle der Bratschenstimme genutzt werdenkann, falls kein Bratschist zur Verfügung steht. Souvent demandés, les quatuors cordes se prêtent toutes sortes d’occasions festives. Music for Celebrations rassemble huit œuvres de compositeurs allant de Marc-Antoine Charpentier Charles Gounod. Ces pièces comptent parmi les classiques les plus populaires lors des mariages, mais un grand nombre d’entre elles sont aussi parfaitement adaptées d'autres occasions. L'arrangeur Anthony Gröger est parvenu transformer les œuvres originales, parfois dotées d’une instrumentation étendue, en quatuors cordes convaincants et faciles jouer, tout en conservant en grande partie leur identité sonore familière. La troisième partie de violon constitue une friandisesupplémentaire. Elle peut être utilisée la place de la partie d'alto si aucun altiste n'est disponible.

BACH-SHARDS was commissioned by the Brentano String Quartet as part of their Art of the Fugue companion-piece project. Ran deliberately stays within the realm of Bach-like vocabulary, altering syntax in ways that add up to something slightly different from the anticipated sum of the parts. The work builds up to a climax that makes the entry point into Bach’s Contrapunctus X seem thoroughly natural.While composing Bach-Shards I found myself gravitating, intuitively and gradually, toward a dual goal. First, though the tension and dissonance inherent in certain moments of Bach’s own maze-like contrapuntal structures could quite easily and naturally lead one into a pungent contemporary terrain, I opted not to stray outside the realm of Bach-like materials and harmonic language. Instead, it was my hope to alter their relationships and context in ways that add up to a something that’s slightly different than the anticipated sum of the parts. A mildly deconstructed Bach, if you will. The other important challenge I set for myself was building up the latter, toccata-like portion of Bach-Shards in a way that would make the entry point of the fugue which it precedes, Contrapunctus X, seem thoroughly natural. It was my intent to have the first fugal entrance feel like a huge and much welcome release of the energy created by my Prelude’s penultimate stretch, with its bravura figurations elaborating on an insistent dominant pedal point.

Cyril Scott (1879-1970) was a British composer, pianist and poet. His most popular works, by which he is largely remembered today, were written in the years preceding the Second World War, however he continued to compose prolifically, in the face of indifference from the outside world, right up until his death at the age of 91. His music is predominantly in the Romantic style, and serves as a tasteful reminder of abygone age.
