Excelcia Music Publishing Releases The Definitive Wedding Collection, Featuring Fresh Arrangements for String Quartet
Lakeland, Florida (March 8, 2023) – The Definitive Wedding Collection, Essential Collection for String Quartet is released by Excelcia Music Publishing just in time for the Spring wedding season. With 18 new string quartet arrangements from the respected composer and arranger John M. Pasternak, this collection includes both fresh and classic wedding songs, beautifully suited for all musical phases of a wedding ceremony.
“I just love all of the beautiful wedding music in this book, and I had a ton of fun writing fresh and new arrangements of these classics,” exclaims arranger John M. Pasternak. “I think gigging string players will be very excited to get a hold of all these new arrangements- they really are the perfect musical offering for the upcoming wedding season.”
Conveniently organized into prelude, postlude, processional, ceremony, and recessional pieces, and beautifully engraved, The Definitive Wedding Collection for Strings is a new essential for string musicians. The scores are also available for digital download from the publisher’s website.
This release is a highly-anticipated follow up to Pasternak’s Wedding Brass Will Ring, featuring arrangements for brass quintet. As a composer for film and religious organizations, Pasternak brings vast experience to these collections of wedding music for both string quartet and brass quintet.
New Prelude/Postlude arrangements in The Definitive Wedding Collection for Strings include Vivaldi’s Spring and Handel’s Air from Water Music. Newly arranged Processional/Recessional pieces include Mendhleson’s Wedding March and Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, and for the Ceremony, new arrangements include Pachebel’s Canon in D, Elgar’s Nimrod and more. Books are available for Violin I, Violin II, Viola and Cello.
Perfect for weddings, these arrangements are versatile and can be played for a variety of other occasions. Each book in The Definitive Wedding Collection for Strings can be purchased for $14.99 from music retailers everywhere. www.excelciamusic.com.
