And rightly so. This song's got it all: Uplifting, joyful, soulful, defiantly optimistic – Well, I should probably warn ya, I'll be just fine (Yeah!) Can't nothing bring me down - and as catchy as a pandemic; a lesson to us all. You've just gotta dance. It's a guaranteed hit at parties. This arrangement for string trio is a relatively straight-forward idiomatic transcription in the same tonality as the original recording, so you could even play along with it for fun. The second voice can be played on viola or violin. There is a part for each. The level is on the easier side of “advanced”; quickly rehearsed by professionals and an accessible challenge for experienced students.

Bajuschki Baku (Trad, Caucasus) 2' 10'' (Hush-a-bye a-bye) A lullaby from Caucasus in a revised arrangement. Shepherds' Farewell By H Berlioz 3' 05'' (L'adieu des Bergers a la Sainte Familie) From L' Enfance du Christ (The Childhood of Christ) almost unaltered. Silent Night By FX Gruber, J Mohr (Trad, Austria) 2' 20'' (Stille Nacht) Another classic Christmas lullaby in new arrangement, which starts off reflecting the bleakness of the original performance in Austria but warms up. Makes you glad to be indoors! The level is on the intermediate. There are some flageolets (harmonics). Enjoy!

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.977362 By Creedence Clearwater Revival. By Jay Hawkins. Arranged by Des McNutty. Rock. Score and parts. 11 pages. Des Press #6598291. Published by Des Press (A0.977362). I Put a Spell on You was originally a refined love song written by Jalacy Screamin' Jay Hawkins . In 1956, he recorded the notorious version upon which this arrangement is based. Notorious because he didn't even remember recording it and the single was banned from many radio stations. I Put a Spell on You didn't even make the charts but still sold more than a million copies and is considered one of the greatest Rock and Roll tracks of all time. It all sort of just fell in place. I found out I could do more destroying a song and screaming it to death.This arrangement for string quartet is a relatively straight-forward idiomatic transcription in the same tonality as the original recording, so you could even play along with it for fun. In this case, since standard notation has certain limitations, it is recommended that the 1st violin and viola players listen to the original track to find out how their notes were performed and work out their own interpretations. Strillato means ranting-ly, screamingly, but a mere word is not enough. The level is on the easier side of advanced; quickly rehearsed by professional quartets and an accessible challenge for experienced students. Waaa-aa-o-oo!

String Quartet String Quartet - Digital Download SKU: A0.977359 By ABBA. By Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Arranged by Des McNutty. Contemporary. Score and parts. 17 pages. Des Press #6480019. Published by Des Press (A0.977359). Abba released Take a Chance on Me - from ABBA: The Album - in January 1978 and it became one of their biggest hits. Influences from this track can be heard in the charts through the following decade and beyond. Needless to say, it remains popular today. As usual with ABBA tracks, the sound production is a work of art in itself: Myriad small details are woven into the tapestry of this high-energy song, such as an audacious one-note string arrangement, a baritone saxophone, state-of-the-art (at the time) synthesized effects and sophisticated multi-voice overdubbing which includes a less-than-perfect layer that may not be obvious but adds to the character and makes listeners more comfortable singing along, The guitar has awesome sustain, sounding almost Hawaiian, with some very slick licks in-between. This arrangement for string quartet cannot boast such complexity in four parts but tips its hat at what details can be squeezed into an idiomatic transcription. As usual in this series from Des Press, the all-important bass-line is used, giving the cellist a chance to shine as a throbbing groove-machine. This arrangement is in the same tonality as the original recording, so you could even play along for fun. The level is on the easier side of advanced; quickly rehearsed by professional quartets and an accessible challenge for experienced students. Enjoy!

This much-demanded re-issue marks 100 years of that iconic dance, The Charleston, from the Broadway show Runnin' Wild (1923), which entered the public domain in 2019. Indiana and I Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight are staples of the 1920's canon. These original arrangements are not based on previously-existing versions, although Indiana is mashed up with interpolations of a well-known work from the late 18th-century....

Can't Get You Out Of My Head String Quintet: 2 violins, viola, cello, bass

String Quintet Cello,Double Bass,Viola,Violin - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1328…(+)

String Quintet Cello,Double Bass,Viola,Violin - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1328844 By Kylie Minogue. By Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis. Arranged by Des McNutty. Disco,Pop. 28 pages. Des Press #916865. Published by Des Press (A0.1328844). Can't Get You out of My Head was sung by Kylie Minogue on her 8th album, Fever. It was released in 2001 and charted at number one in 40 countries. Can't Get You out of My Head is an example of a perfect pop song. Classified by some as Neo-Disco, it draws heavily on influences from Trance and Electronic Dance Music (EDM) styles but with its own twists, making the heavily synthesized production sound both fresh and familiar. The melodies and lyrics sound deceptively simple and the hook is just la la la. All of this is again matched perfectly with the performer; Minogue's veneer of naïve vacuity that belies the consummate behind. In addition to all this, the entire main vocal part fits in the five-note starting position for piano students - c, d, e, f, g - making this song an absolute gift for music teachers. Well, 20-odd years ago at least. This arrangement for String Quintet is a relatively straight-forward idiomatic transcription in the same tonality as the original recording, so you could even play along with it for fun. The optional beginners' parts use only open strings. There are no bar numbers. Rehearsal marks are there for navigation. Level: Easy/Intermediate plus beginners. Enjoy!
