We have over eight hours of repertoire spanning Classical,
Jazz and Contemporary styles. You can specify exactly what we play,
leave it to our discretion or have partial involvement. If left to our discretion our music selection is guided by the
nature and mood of the function and guests.
Select one of the links below to see the list of each style. Pieces that can feature a singer are marked (+ singer). For some pieces an audio sample is available by clicking on the  treble clef sign next to them. All samples were recorded as a string quartet. These should be played automatically by your web browser or default media player but if not then click on the graphic below to download quicktime for free. The samples will open in the below window, click on the repertoire tab again to return. Note - sometimes internet explorer does not play mp3 files, in this case please use firefox or safari as an alternate browser.
If there is no audio sample next to a piece that you wish to hear then you have a few options to listen;
1) download itunes and search the online store where you can preview pieces.
2) search amazon.com and preview pieces using windows media or real player
We are happy to play music in addition to the listed repertoire but we then need to be supplied with the scores (sheet music).
The scores
• must be written out in full on manuscript paper. Guitar tablature, commercial chord symbols or similar are not sufficient.
• may be for instruments other than quartet but we appreciate sourced quartet scores where possible. Piano scores are then second best.
• should not be sourced from "easy piano" versions etc. These sound even thinner when transposed to quartet. Try for the original music or at least a detailed arrangement.
You will need to post the scores to us prior to the event. Usually we can play from them at sight without modification, occasionally though an arrangement is necessary. If you cannot find scores an arrangement may even be possible from an audio sample. Arrangements incur a fee depending on the scale of work required and are only possible where copyright permits.
Scores can be sourced two ways.
1) Online
http://www.musicnotes.com
The fastest and most convenient way. Simply sign up for an account and then print out, scan in and email the score to us.
2) Retailer
