Product Description
ARRANGED FOR STRING QUARTET by Samantha Clemens (2 violins, viola, cello)
A simple but rich rendition of the famous poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns written in 1788. The arrangement of the traditional folk song, loosely based on a pentatonic scale, explores interesting counterpoint figures for the Violin II and Viola. This arrangement is used by professional musicians at weddings and private events and is perfect for sightreading. Two minutes, 30 seconds long. Includes score and parts.
It has an Easter egg! Listen for The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond woven into the middle of the arrangment. This is a great arrangment for the Christmas season, New Years Eve events, or combined with other Scottish or Celtic tunes.
First verse:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
well tak a cup o kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Second verse:
And surely yell be your pint-stoup!
and surely Ill be mine!
And well tak a cup o kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Chorus
