String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1112564 By Ramin Djawadi. By Ramin Djawadi. Arranged by Luis Turina and Nonamé Música. Film/TV,Medieval,Multicultural,Pop,Wedding,World. 10 pages. Nonamé Música #714569. Published by Nonamé Música (A0.1112564). (Spanish below) Since this mythical series premiered, it has appeared more and more in the events in which the Nonamé String Quartet participates with its main theme music. But as it progressed, we wanted to take a truly differential step forward. We use the music from the opening scene of the first episode of the fourth season (Two Swords) which leads inevitably into the traditional opening music, as Tywin melts Ice into Widow's Lament and Oathkeeper. We start with the Lannisters theme (the Rains of Castamere) on cello, later accompanied by viola. A general crescendo leaves us with the main theme, transcribed as best as possible from Ramin Djawadi's masterful header. The violin can do pizz on the last phrase, or not play it at all. Arrangement on a single page to facilitate its interpretation outdoors. Bowings and dynamics to facilitate a good sightreading. All set to recreate the Red Wedding in your performances! More Noname Music arrangements on our channel: Noname Music Desde que comenzó esta mÃÂtica serie, cada vez ha aparecido más en los eventos en los que el Cuarteto Nonamé participa la música de su cabecera.

Empezamos con el tema de los Lannister (las Lluvias de Castamere) en el cello luego acompañado por la viola. Un crescendo general nos deja con el tema principal, transcrito lo mejor posible de la magistral cabecera de Ramin Djawadi. El violÃÂn puede hacer pizz en la última frase, o no tocarla en absoluto. Arreglo en una sola página para facilitar su interpretación al aire libre. Arcos, digitaciones y matices para poder hacer una buena lectura a primera vista. ¡Todo listo para recrear la Boda Roja en vuestras actuaciones! Más arreglos de Nonamé en nuestro canal: Nonamé Música

Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.1114063). Instrumental quartet based on my Comic song parodying the old Christmas carol Past three o'clock. The choir is having a party into the early hours of the morning and annoying the neighbour - the neighbour takes his revenge by pulling the fuses, but the choir continues a cappella. Original words: Past two o'clock, all singin' and all dancing Past two o'clock the party's in full flow ... Pity the neighbour, do him a favour: give him some earplugs for good behaviour! his ears are ringin' : stones he'll start flingin' he doesn't like the songs we are singin' Sing to him gentle or he'll go mental he's started shouting words non-parental (Goodness!) He's pulled the fuse now, we'll have to choose now whether to stop and admit that we lose now Despite that fellah we're feelin' mellah and since we're unplugged we'll sing acappella! Performed by Violin 1: Csongor Veér Violin 2: Anna Fehér Viola: Péter Kondor Cello: Mátyás Ölveti of Budapest Scoring.

String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1489644 Composed by Welsh Traditional. Arranged by James M. .Guthrie. Chamber,Christmas,Historic,Standards,Traditional. 14 pages. Jmsgu3 #1066516. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1489644). Deck the Halls is a traditional Christmas carol with a rich history and cultural significance:Origin and Melody: The melody of Deck the Halls is derived from a Welsh tune called Nos Galan, which dates back to at least the 16th century. The carol's melody was initially associated with Welsh New Year's Eve celebrations.Lyrics: The English lyrics were written by Scottish musician Thomas Oliphant in 1862. These lyrics were published alongside the original Welsh lyrics in a collection of Welsh melodies.Cultural Context: Originally, Nos Galan was a competitive Welsh drinking song. Participants would take turns singing verses around a fire during New Year's Eve gatherings. The transition from a New Year's song to a Christmas carol occurred when the English lyrics were adapted to focus on Christmas themes.Meaning and Usage: The phrase deck the halls means to decorate for Christmas, traditionally with boughs of holly and other festive adornments. The term deck in this context means to decorate or adorn, and it is derived from the Middle Dutch word dekken, meaning to cover.Variations and Adaptations: Over time, the lyrics have been adapted in various ways, including changing the words to reflect different cultural or religious contexts, such as replacing Christmas with Yule or Yuletide.Overall, Deck the Halls is a beloved carol that combines elements of Welsh tradition with Victorian-era English lyrics, celebrating the festive spirit of the holiday season.

Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.1114067). Instrumental quartet based on my choral piece The Choir in the Rain which is a sequence of limericks written and set to music by the composer imagining the scene if a choir were made to sing in the rain, complete with colds, coughs, sneezes and fever. Original limericks: (Introductory words: pitter patter pom etc) Our conductor was trying to train our choir to sing in the rain the music got wet and to our great regret we finally had to refrain So all of us went back indoors and we sang from our poor dripping scores but the audience cheered as we persevered and demanded sev'ral encores It was then that we all started sneezing the basses were coughing and wheezing The altos in harm'ny sniffed not very calmly but the audience thought we were teasing The Sopranos then noticed their dresses were shrinking and causing distresses the buttons they popped and the tenors they hopped as those buttons shot right past their faces It seemed that the choir was dissolving and the room started slowly revolving we'd all caught a cough it near carried us off as the fever we'd got was evolving We finally reached the last ditty in that chilly and rain sodden city oh we're told that in Spain it just rains on the plain but here it soaks both plain and pretty Performed by Violin 1: Csongor Veér Violin 2: Anna Fehér Viola: Péter Kondor Cello: Mátyás Ölveti of Budapest Scoring.

Score and parts. 5 pages. SMT Music #4615377. Published by SMT Music (A0.749749). This famous tune is from the Beethoven 9th Symphony Finale. It celebrates the brotherhood of mankind and has words based on the Friedrich Schiller Ode to Joy poem. We often play it as the recessional for weddings. This version has an optional Trumpet descant part. On the 2nd verse the 1st violin plays an obligado part and the 2nd violin has the melody for part of the song. We usually do the song 2 or 3 times as the church clears out and often follow it with another recessional like Rejoicing by Handel. .

String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1356173 Composed by Phillipe De Vitry. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Chamber,Contest,Early Music,Festival,Historic,Medieval. 10 pages. Jmsgu3 #940841. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1356173). The motet O canenda/Rex regum by Philippe de Vitry is significant as it represents the emergence of the classic isorhythmic motet, which simultaneously sets a pair of texts in its two upper voices. Philippe de Vitry, a 14th-century French composer, is considered a leading figure in the changes that occurred in French music around 1325. His motets, including O canenda/Rex regum, are regarded as strikingly individual, exploiting unique structural ideas. They are part of the early development of the ars nova style of composition, which introduced new rhythmic and notational techniques. The structure of Philippe de Vitry's motet O canenda/Rex regum is characterized by the classic isorhythmic motet, which sets a pair of texts simultaneously in its two upper voices. This composition represents the emergence of the ars nova style of late medieval music, introducing new rhythmic and notational techniques. The repeated rhythmic patterns of the tenor do not necessarily accord with melodic ones, and the motet is known for packing symbols and thematic subtleties into each short piece. Philippe de Vitry's motets, including O canenda/Rex regum, are strikingly individual, contributing to the evolution of musical forms and representing innovative trends in 14th-century French music.The text of motets from this period often contained religious, secular, or courtly love themes. The words rex regum et dominus dominancium from the motet evoke the notion of an earthly king who emulates Christ on his heavenly seat as he assumes his throne. The text likely reflects the religious or secular themes commonly found in motet compositions of that era. Philippe de Vitry, a French composer, poet, and music theorist, was born on October 31, 1291, and died on June 9, 1361. Philippe de Vitry's O canenda/Rex regum was composed around 1320. He was appointed Bishop of Meaux on January 3 1351, and held this post until his death.
