Allegretto | S. Suzuki | Suzuki Book 1 | String Quartet Version

Arranged by Joseph Knaus. This quartet arrangement is from the book, “Suzuki String Quartets for Beginning Ensembles - Volume 1”

New Slang | The Shins | Strings & Vocal Cover | Arr. Cheyenne Elwell

For the past 5 weeks, I’ve poured my heart and soul into writing & performing this arrangement. It’s a special song that brings back many happy memories. So without further ado, I’m excited to share my final arrangement of “New Slang” by The Shins.

This arrangement features more instruments than those that are visible, as I was only able to comfortably fit six videos on screen. This piece features: vocals, 2 violins, 3 violas, and 3 cellos.

Waltz by Johannes Brahms of Suzuki Book 2. String Quartet Version.

I remember learning Brahms’ “Waltz” back when I was about 10 years old! It’s meant to accompany a slow dance, but it reminds me of a sweet lullaby.

This quartet arrangement is from the book, “Suzuki String Quartets for Beginning Ensembles - Volume 2.”

Minuet No. 2 | Suzuki Book 1 | J.S. Bach | String Quartet Version

Fun fact: Minuet No. 2 is credited to Bach, though there is some debate over this statement (could be Petzold?). It was supposedly found in his notebooks (filled with music!) addressed to his wife and children in hopes that they would all enjoy playing them on piano. As such, this piece was originally written for piano/harpsichord/organ.

In honor of the show's recent series finale, I thought it would be fitting to share my quartet version of the This Is Us Theme Song played during the ending credits of each episode.
