Product Description

Sail away with the rousing melody of The Wellerman for String Quartet

Transport your audience to the high seas with this stirring arrangement of the viral TickTock sea shanty The Wellerman for string quartet. This modern folk classic, with its catchy tune and stirring tale, takes on a new life in the hands of strings, blending rustic charm with classical finesse.

The piece begins with a simple introduction, as solo violin lays down the iconic melody. Each chorus is Tutti with mostly homorhythmic harmonies building a rich sound that captures the shantys communal spirit. As the arrangement unfolds, each member of the string quartet gets time to shine with a solo verse, before once again resuming chorus in four part harmony.

Ideal for concerts, themed events, or as a crowd-pleasing encore, this arrangement offers:

A blend of energy and drama, keeping audiences enthralled from start to finish.
Fairly simple parts, making it enjoyable for confident beginners and intermediate players.
This hugely popular social media sensation is well known to children and young people and is ideal for engaging a younger audience. The viral craze is just long enough ago that crowds will get a gentle nostalgia for the song.
Whether performed in a formal recital or a lively gathering, this string quartet arrangement of The Wellerman will leave listeners humming long after the performance ends.

All parts are 2 pages long to avoid page turns and a score is also included.
