Carson Turner&rsquo.s latest instalment to The Schott String Quartet Series is a wonderful collection of traditional Irish folk tunes. These intermediate-level arrangements make perfect performance material.

The Schott String Quartet Series
With the first books in the series focusing on baroque, classical and romantic styles, The Schott String Quartet Series has expanded to cover music ranging from traditional pieces through to Eastern-influenced works. Aside from 'Indian Summer', which features original compositions, each book contains original arrangements of well known themes, which have often never been arranged for string quartet before. .
An important characteristic of these arrangements is that they allow all four instruments to demand the attention throughout the music. The pieces are suitable for amateur musicians or school students and are ideal for public performance.

This version of the traditional favourite, Amazing Grace, is inspired by Celtic Woman's cover. Full of rich harmonies, gorgeous suspensions and unexpected turns of direction, it's a must-have for every church service, wedding, memorial or performance. Every instrument has their moment of melody, making this a delight to play for any string quartet.

Winkmusic.co.uk produces the highest quality arrangements. Tried and tested at 5* venues and concert halls, only the best make the cut. Previous commissions have appeared on Sunday Times Top 100 Albums of 2016, and are played by Classic FM chart-toppers and at festivals across the world. Educational arrangements have received excellent reviews.

It is transposed up to G major to take advantage of harmonics, and for ease of playing. Some position work is needed for first violin. Purchase includes score and all parts including Violin 3 (Viola in treble clef).

This unique version of Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" was performed by Dallas String Quartet in their latest music video, and is now available to your ensemble as well!

"If you don't wanna see me dancing with..." some random person's iPod speaker instead of listening to your amazing string quartet, then Don't Start buying shoddy arrangements from free-gig-whatevers dot com. Instead, make the right choice for your ensemble and invest in high quality charts from real, professional arrangers. What you're getting here is not a 72% accurate transcription of someone's Dua Lipa YouTube piano cover that has been laid out "legibly enough" on 4 staves. This is a tasteful setting of one of the sexiest disco grooves to hit radio since the Beegee's untimely decline, and it highlights all those hip string parts from Dua's original track while adding some original figures to really make this tune pop as an instrumental version.

Within the pages of this fantastically funky fresh score, you'll find some simple (but effective) chopping, slapping & extended string techniques to help your ensemble get their groove on, an extendable outro solo where players can stretch their creative legs on a dull gig, and enough sneaky reharminizations to earn an oh-so-satisfying nod of approval from that one guy in the back of the audience who used to be in a jazz band.

This version of the score includes optional RHYTHM SECTION PARTS for guitar, bass, & drum set in addition to the standard string quartet. While this arrangement is more than capable of moving, grooving and soothing with just the string parts, there are a variety of scenarios in which you may find adding some of those "loud" instruments may benefit your ensemble, such as:

- Cool collaborations with non-classical musicians.

- Making peace and finally finding common ground with those heathens who use frets to play in tune.

- Performing at outdoor events... or anywhere where alcohol is served. Small talk doesn't stand a chance against drums!

- You just got the stage plot for the gig and are concerned people won't take you seriously if you have less than 7 inputs on your rider.

- You carpooled to the wedding with the band, and figured you guys might as well play something together during the reception rather than spend all night starting at the appetizers that you aren't allowed to eat.

... and the list goes on.

Help take your ensemble to a new level when expanding your gig repertoire this year. This chart will keep your musicians inspired and your audience's insatiable need to consume brand new music in alternative instrumentations satisfied. To be clear, some practice and/or rehearsal will likely be required, so sight reading is not recommended, but with just a little bit of effort this arrangement will be FUN for your group to play!

Performance time - approximately 3:00, longer if you want to vamp the outro

"The Best" is a song recorded by Bonnie Tyler for her seventh studio album, Hide Your Heart (1988). In the following year, the song was covered by Tina Turner for her seventh studio album, Foreign Affair. The song was written by Holly Knight and Mike Chapman. The Tina Turner cover has become an icon of rugby league. The saxophone solo on Turner's version is played by Edgar Winter. The song title is often called Simply the Best, reflecting a phrase in the chorus. This became so commonplace that the bracketed word 'Simply' was included in the titles for releases of some subsequent versions, and in the track listing for some Tina Turner compilation albums. Holly Knight told Songfacts: 'The Best' is one of those rare gems that's a very positive love song, without being cheesy ? that's a tall order."
