Product Description

BEN (MICHAEL JACKSON) - STRING QUARTET
Derek Hasted writes "If there was one piece of music that showed the true extent of Michael Jacksons musical prowess, it would surely be "Ben", sung faultlessly and with great maturity at such a tender age.

My arrangement for string quartet is in the original key of F, and as the piece progresses, each of the players has a mix of tune, echo and countermelody so there is variety for everyone, audience included!

The music is provided in parts (with no page turns) and a full score - the sample you might see before purchase is laid out to show you as much as possible...

My arrangement stays in the lower positions where there is a wonderful poignancy in the blended sound that makes a performance of this piece sure to "hit the spot" with the audience.

The dynamic markings show the players who has the tune at each point, but the music has an overall shape and flow that also needs to come through, with the swells and pauses becoming intuitive and synchronised as the piece is played.

I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"

This is one of a large and growing range of accessible ensembles from experienced arranger Derek Hasted, and is supplied as full score and parts. Derek's website at www.derek-hasted.co.uk/smp lists all his arrangements by title and by "number of instruments", with links to soundclips and sample score.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
