about

This is the pdf sheet music for my four part harmony instrumental string arrangement of the traditional Irish song, 'The Parting Glass'.

You can also use the harmonies in duets and trios.

When this is sung by a singer, there are usually pauses at the ends of some phrases, with a couple of extra beats added. When played as an instrumental piece, these pauses are normally omitted to create a continuous flow in the rhythm, which is what I have done in this arrangement. If you want to play it in the same rhythm that it is normally sung, the best thing to do is listen to some recordings of singers and figure out where these pauses should go, and mark them on the sheet music - how long they should be is up to you!

----
Bandcamp is primarily a platform for selling recorded music, but allows for the inclusion of "extras". The PDF sheet music is an "extra" in this download, and you will receive it regardless of what audio format you pick for download.

With this download, you'll receive sheet music scores in a variety of formats:

* string quartet
* violin trio with cello
* violin trio with viola (cello part transcribed up an octave)

Each score also includes chords for an accompanist, e.g. guitar or piano.

This makes them versatile as you can use the harmony parts with different groups of instruments, from a violin duet or violin and cello duet (for example) up to a large string ensemble.

By picking different parts, you can play them on any of the following instrument combinations:

* Violin duet
* Violin trio
* Violin trio and cello
* Violin duet and cello
* Violin and cello
* Violin trio and viola
* Violin duet and viola
* Violin and viola
* Two violins and two violas
...or even
* String quartet

You will also receive recordings:

* The demo recordings of the different harmony parts as heard above
* "Practise mixes". These are recordings with each harmony part turned up in the mix, and the tune turned down, which can be helpful to people who learn mostly by ear.

I have lots more harmony arrangements of traditional and celtic music available on my website:
