In honor of me joining the half century club recently, my 14 yr old son arranged one of my favorite songs "Dream On" for strings. He is an avid violinist and composer. He took a transcription I had done of Dream On (using my Ovation, so this isn't 100% OT), transposed it to a more string-friendly key, and arranged it for strings. The high school Chamber Orchestra is gearing up to perform it next spring.

The viola plays most of the lead guitar parts. The cello comes to the rescue on some of the lower guitar notes. There is First Violin, Second Violin, Viola, First Cello, Second Cello, and Contrabass.
This is a MIDI performance from his scores. He uses Finale Printmusic to compose and score, which will play the score via MIDI. Next spring I hope to get a recording of a live performance. |
