ALFRED I JUST FOR FUN
ELKAN-VOGEL I ‘PASSACAGLIA IN C MINUS’
Witty Strings
Fun Times
Elkan-Vogel’s new publication of Peter
Schickele’s Passacaglia In C Minus: A
Quodlibet For String Quartet maintains the wit
of a P.D.Q. Bach piece while remaining short
and easy for the developing string quartet. It’s
a collage of known themes containing more
than 24 melodies by Brahms, Bach and
Haydn. The work’s namesake, Bach’s
“Passacaglia In C Minor For Organ,” is woven
throughout the entire piece. {presser.com}
Alfred’s new Just For Fun songbook
series is made up of 16 easy songbooks
for guitar, ukulele, mandolin and banjo in four
genres, including classic rock, easy rock,
rock and pop, and swinging jazz. All songs
in the series are arranged from the original
recorded guitar parts and simplified. Each
song includes standard music notation,
instrument-specific tab, chord charts and
lyrics. {alfred.com}
