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.

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 friandisesupplémentair e. Elle peut être utilisée la place de la partie d'alto si aucun altiste n'est disponible.
