String Quartet String Quartet - Level 3 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1048737
Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by Yoon Jae Lee. Classical,Romantic Period,Standards,Traditional,Wedding. 10 pages. Ondine Press #652362. Published by Ondine Press (A0.1048737).
This is a full score Yoon Jae Lee's arrangement of the wedding march for string quartet. The set of parts is available separately.
Mendelssohn’s wedding march is ubiquitous for any seasoned wedding musician. A search online reveals more than a few dozen arrangements of this work for string quartet alone so why create another one? Many arrangements currently in circulation are of extremely poor quality, both from a musical and publishing standpoint. They give little regard to what Mendelssohn actually wrote and render as if the arranger was recalling the music by ear. My new arrangement follows a fresh examination of the original orchestral score. Some key highlights include: 1. Preserving the same exact number of bars as the original. 2. Maintaining a balance between the original version and rewriting idiomatically for string quartet. 3. A highly artistic arrangement playable by most string players above an intermediate level (There are double and triple stops but nothing unmanageable). 4. No unnecessary articulations, bowings or fingerings have been added. The musical core is left untouched and skilled musicians can make their own interpretive decisions with fresh insight into the music. 5. A clean, high quality engraving with bar numbers added.
A 29 bar abridged arrangement of the march is also available so don’t use other arrangements of this essential work. If you are a “serious” musician, be sure to have this arrangement of the wedding march always handy in your library!
