Queen are known not only for their stylistic diversity, but also for their over-the-top theatrics during concerts and in videos. This helped give them the staying power to have hit songs for over twenty years! One of their biggest, instantly recognised hits is the rock-anthem We Are the Champions, written by Freddie Mercury. This monster hit is now available in an energetic string quartet arrangement by Anthony Gröger. Queen is niet alleen gekend om hun muziek in diverse stijlen, maar ook om hun theatrale uitvoeringen tijdens concerten en in videoclips. Een van hun grootste hits is het rocknummer We Are the Champions, geschreven door Freddie Mercury. Deze monsterhit is nu beschikbaar in een meesleepend arrangement voor strijkkwartet bewerkt door Anthony Gröger. Neben der stilistischen Vielseitigkeit ist das Theatralische und Pompöse eines der Erkennungsmerkmale der Musik von Queen und zwar offensichtlich durchaus im positiven Sinne, wie der zeitlose Erfolg ihrer Hits beweist! Ein Paradebeispiel dafu r ist die Rockhymne We Are the Champions aus der Feder von Freddie Mercury, die nun in einer mitreiÃ?enden Streichquartettbearbeitung von Anthony Gröger vorliegt. Emmené par le charismatique Freddie Mercury, le groupe Queen a marqué et marquera encore de nombreuses générations. We Are the Champions connaît un immense succès dès sa sortie, en 1977. Aujourdâ??hui, on ne compte plus le nombre de références ce titre dans les championnats sportifs mais également au cinéma, la télévision, dans des spots publicitaires etc. Anthony Gröger a ecrit un arrangement énergique de cet hymne rock pour quatuor cordes.

Lotta Wennäkoski's Pige (2021-2022) for string quartet was commissioned to be paired with the Death and the Maiden quartet by Franz Schubert (pige is Danish for girl). The composer tells:The first movement Vorüber, ach, vorüber! is based on the first half of Schubert’s lied lying behind his The Death and the Maiden quartet. The maiden’s song in the beginning of the lied has not found its way to his string quartet, so I wanted to use this material in mine. The second move-ment Daktylus borrows its idea from the haunting pulse of Schubert’s chant of Death. Something fierce and something soundless can be heard here - along with other variants on the dactyl rhythm. For example, I’ve written a lyrically flowing melody based on the same rhythmic pattern (long-short-short).Schubert’s quartet is wonderful music and of course a cornerstone of the repertoire, and the death and the maiden is a strong, tempting and gloomy motif in art history. On the other hand, I just couldn’t help seeing the motif also as a - somewhat passé - image of an old male desiring the ulti-mately young female body. The third movement thus turns its gaze to the girl herself. Pigen og scrapbogen, The Girl and the Scrapbook, is joyful textural music - compiled of fragments and freely handled quotations that might spring to mind when thinking of a vital girl’s life.This product includes the full score and the set of parts.Movements:1. Vorüber, ach, vorüber!2. Daktylus3. Pigen og scrapbogen (das Mädchen und das Scrapbuch)The first movement can also be performed separately as a prologue to The Death and the Maiden string quartet by Franz Schubert.
