New Repertoire
Palatine have some new repertoire written by our very talented arranger Ian. I never thought I’d say this (not a massive Rhianna fan) but “We Found Love” is my new favourite, it is super cool and funky and the arrangement has been written brilliantly for string quartet. Never in a million years did I think this could sound as good as this, hopefully we’ll make some new recordings this year and include this one on the list of Must Do’s!
All our string quartet repertoire can be viewed on our repertoire page here: https://palatinestringquartet.co.uk/string-quartet-repertoire/
Here is the list (some are new improved arrangements of existing ones):
Arrival of the Birds – Cinematic Orchestra
Gold Digger – Kanye West (a lot of instrument slapping on this one!)
You to me are Everything – (2nd on my favourites list, a great feel good song)
We Found Love – Calvin Harris/Rhianna (awesome arrangement with more instrument slapping going on!)
Sex on Fire – Kings of Leon
Champagne Supernova – Oasis (this is pretty epic at 7 mins long! Based on the Vitamin String Quartet’s version)
Candy Man –
Enjoy the Silence – Depeche Mode
All of Me – John Legend (really gorgeous arrangement)
Baby I Love You – The Ramones
Titanium – David Guetta (virtuosic sections for the 1st violinist)
To Build a Home – Cinematic Orchestra
Married Life from the film “UP” (very sweet)
