I've released a new single (still have a lot of work in my back catalog to get through) of my own arrangement for string quartet of Percy Aldridge Grainger's Harvest Hymn. The score I used as the basis for my arrangement was the violin and piano version of 1932.
This recording was made directly from Notion driving Spitfire's Sacconi String Quartet library. I've posted regarding this library before. It's unique in that it is designed not as 4 solo string instruments, but as four instruments meant to play well together as an ensemble. I think you get a good sense of that in this recording. https://www.tensivity.com/works Scroll to the bottom of the page to listen to the recording. Thanks for listening as always, and feedback is always appreciated! Michael

As usual, apples and oranges. . .
You must work pretty hard to cook your own string quartet version of the hymn from a score meant for piano & violin. Wow! I'm not sure I could do that. When I say apples and oranges, I'm refering to the only version I have for comparison. It is Neville Marriner's St.Martin-in-the-Fields grandiose prestation. How do you gauge a string quartet when the benchmark is a symphony orchestra? Cheers |
