Product Description
An absolute 80s classic arranged for string quartet! Have fun with this arrangement of 'All Night Long' - all breakdown sections are included, and moments with 'percussive' sounds.
Please note! There are some transcribed semiquaver string lines in the violin 2 part to look out for, and the mp3 guide uses programmed percussion sounds rather than Sibelius strings to show the imitated percussion. This arrangement has been taken up a semitone to D major from the original so some of the phrases sit better on strings. Enjoy!
Julia Dos Reis is a freelance violist, composer/arranger, and teacher based in London, UK. She has performed with her own groups, as well as one off projects, in venues across the UK and Europe, including Ronnie Scotts, Royal Festival Hall, Paris Grande Halle de La Villette. Julia has a Masters in Jazz Performance from Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where she studied under jazz violinist, Chris Garrick.
Her arrangements offer fun takes on pop/jazz classics, keeping the essence of the original. Features of the arrangements include the inclusion of extended and percussive techniques such as chopping, moments of improvisation, melodic lines passed around all players, and solid grooves. Such features are flexible and can be adapted to suit players skills.
The arrangements are all truly tried and tested, as she performs the arrangements regularly at weddings and events with her quartet, Soli Strings. Please listen here: https://www.youtube.com/@solistringsmusic
