Pop Ballads for String Quartet

Traditionally a string quartet will not readily take on pop music. But times are changing and the classic quartet line-up proves suitable for beautiful arrangements of contemporary songs as well. This book features three hits from past decades. The Rose with its simple., pure sounds and underlying harmonies, La solitudine - compelling and with a hidden energy and finally Wonderwall, an unexpected choice, with its persistent rhythmic background. To allow the string quartet to play together with optional guitar or keyboard, chord symbols have been added in the score. These songs - which certainly have a passionate and romantic ring to them - are ideal for receptions, weddings and other festive occasions.
