Elvis Costello was inspired to create this song sequence for string quartet and voice after discovering that a Veronese academic had been replying to letters addressed to “Juliet Capulet.” The delicate and personal nature of the correspondence inspired a wonderful and poignant set of songs, written, arranged and originally performed by Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet. Released in 1993, the album was met with critical acclaim for its creative mix of rock and classical style influences and intelligent sense of melody. Hal Leonard is proud to publish this 30th Anniversary Edition of the work, edited by Brodsky Quartet members Jacqueline Thomas and Paul Cassidy.

Superb String Accompaniment for Voice
This edition of "The Juliet Letters" offers beautifully crafted string quartet parts that exquisitely support a vocalist. The intelligent voice-leading within the quartet creates a rich, poignant texture, perfectly blending classical refinement with rock sensibilities. As a vocal coach, I appreciate how the arrangement allows the singer's melody to soar while being cradled by the nuanced string accompaniment. A truly artistic collaboration.

Dive into Elvis Costello's Masterpiece!
As a string player, I absolutely love this "Juliet Letters" collection. Playing Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet's unique pop-rock meets classical style is incredibly enjoyable and makes me feel like I’m part of something special. The pieces are challenging but totally achievable with practice, making weekend playing immensely satisfying. It's a poignant and melodically rich experience that sounds fantastic.
