SKU: A0.763265
Composed by Trad. Irish. Arranged by Nigel Williams. Celtic,Holiday,Irish,Lent. 10 pages. Nigel Williams #3430077. Published by Nigel Williams (A0.763265).A new and fresh arrangement of this most popular Irish tune, 'Danny Boy' (Londonderry Air). This tune is also sung to the Gospel hymn He Looked Beyond My Faults. Starting in the viola part, the melody moves through the quartet allowing each player an opportunity to lead. While some slurring and phrasing is included, take care to be consistent with phrasing the melody and pay close attention to the dynamic markings. The three complete statements of the melody take the arrangement through three tonal areas and allow each player full command of their instrument's range. Aimed at the advanced intermediate level (grade 6 ABRSM), this arrangement is approximately four minutes in duration and is ideal repertoire for high school and college recitals and competitions. Full score runs to five pages, separate parts included. See also my string quartet arrangement of Be Thou My Vision on SMP.
