This month I would like to recommend 'The Wedding Collection' - 8 Favourite Pieces Arranged for String Quartet.
This unique collection of 8 pieces is the latest addition to the popular Schott String Quartet series. Arranged by Barrie Carson Turner, the romantic repertoire including Wagner's 'Bridal Chorus', 'Arrival of the Queen of Sheba' by Handel and Mendelssohn's celebrated 'Wedding March' is ideal for commemorating that special day.
Bring the music of the Baroque era to life! This book contains approachable top line arrangements suitable for grade 3-5 standard.
The accompanying CD features 12 orchestral backing tracks arranged authentically to reflect the era, together with complete instrumental performances, played by live musicians.
As an additional bonus piano accompaniments are also available for each piece as download.
