String Quartet String Quartet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.550016 Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Holiday,Multicultural,Romantic Period,Standards,World. 72 pages. Jmsgu3 #4574631. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.550016). The Hebrides Overture, also known as Fingal's Cave, is a concert overture composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1830, revised in 1832, and published the following year as Mendelssohn's Op. 26. It is a standalone composition in a form familiar to the Romantic period and is not drawn from a stage work or opera. The overture consists of two primary themes, with the opening notes stating the theme Mendelssohn wrote while visiting Fingal's Cave and the second theme depicting movement at sea and rolling waves.Mendelssohn was inspired to compose this piece after visiting the Scottish island of Staffa and its famous Fingal’s Cave, which made a deep impression on him due to its echoing acoustics and the sound of waves crashing against rocks. The intense and rolling melodies within the music perfectly capture the sense of drama and awe of the Scottish landscape. The Hebrides Overture, also known as Fingal's Cave, has been used in popular culture in various ways. It has been performed by orchestras worldwide and has become part of the standard orchestral repertoire, retaining its position to the present day. The overture has also inspired literary works like Virginia Woolf's novel. Additionally, Mendelssohn's visit to the Hebrides and the composition of the overture have contributed to the popularity of Fingal's Cave as a tourist destination. Furthermore, the overture has been featured in recordings and concerts, contributing to its enduring presence in the musical landscape.

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1335178 Composed by Joseph Lanner (1801-1843). Arranged by Stephen Levintow. 19th Century,Chamber,Opera,Romantic Period. 55 pages. Cypress Publishing #921020. Published by Cypress Publishing (A0.1335178). Lanner, along with his colleague (and later rival) Johann Strauss the Elder, led the first great flowering of dance music specialist composers in Vienna. This wonderful curiosity is Lanner's homage to Mozart, setting some of his most famous opera melodies in waltz time, introduced by a medley of other Mozart opera hits. The finale, a waltz rendition of the overture to Die Zauberflöte, is not to be missed! The 3rd waltz includes a section where Lanner, a brilliant violinist, wrote out what sounds like the sort of improvisation he would have made in performance. It is marked with an optional cut in the arrangement.CYPRESS PUBLISHING is pleased to be the imprint for arrangements for string ensemble by Stephen Levintow. He is a free lance professional violist and violinist specializing in chamber music, who began making string quartet and trio arrangements for wedding, party and corporate events, to expand the repertory or to improve on existing versions. Selections include unusual pieces by both familiar and lesser-known composers, plus standard classical and popular favorites. The goal is to produce high-quality, musically satisfying arrangements faithful to the composer’s original material, yet sight-readable in most cases by working professionals or intermediate to advanced students. The full range of normal string technique is employed, while avoiding unnecessary technical complexity. Melodic material is distributed throughout the four voices where appropriate, to maintain listener and performer interest. All parts and scores are set in Sibelius© software format, with careful attention to legibility and page turns.

Composed by Paul Hindemith. This edition: score and parts. Downloadable, Score and parts. Duration 3 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q11763. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q11763). German.In addition to the two magnificent string quartet parodies 'Repertorium für Militärmusik Minimax' [Repertory for military music 'Minimax'] (ED 6735) and 'Ouvertüre zum Fliegenden Holländer, wie sie eine schlechte Kurkapelle morgens um 7 am Brunnen vom Blatt spielt' [Overture of 'The Flying Dutchman' as played at sight by a bad spa orchestra at the well at 7 in the morning] (ED 8106), 'Uncanny Invitation' is another merry work by Paul Hindemith, a 'Song with Full Orchestra Accompaniment in the Style of Richard Strauss. Text taken from a Beekeeper’s Journal. For soprano and quartet. Strauss' song 'Heimliche Aufforderung' [Secret Invitation] probably was behind the corruption of the title. The text, slightly changed by Hindemith, from the magazine 'Die Biene und ihre Zucht' [Bees and how to keep them] from 1924 inspired Hindemith to make this creation, provided with the invitation 'am Bienenstand (d. h. an der Donauquelle) … jung zu baden' [to bathe young … at the apiary (i.e. at the source of the Danube)], to not let oneself be carried away by the ageing Strauss, but by contemporary music.
