Happy Birthday by Beethoven (for String Quartet) by Sharon Wilson String Quartet - Digital Sheet Music

Variations of the song "Happy Birthday to You" by Patty and Mildred Hill have entertained audiences by talented musicians for over a century. This variation for string quartet (or 3 violins and 1 cello) blends the "Happy Birthday" theme with the famous classical piece "Symphony No. 5" by Ludwig van Beethoven and is one of 6 arrangements in the collection "Happy Birthday Variations by the Great Composers for String Quartet." These arrangements have been shortened significantly from their original score and simplified when needed so that each song takes less than 2 minutes to perform. These medleys add a fun surprise birthday wish when presented during a recital or other gathering. The Violin 3 part is the same as the Viola part in case a Viola player is not available. This is an excellent arrangement for a late beginner to intermediate string group since all notes on the violin and viola can be played in the first position and up to the second position for the cello. The purchase price includes the full 5 staff, 5 page score plus a 1 page score for each part.
