“She moved through the fair” is one of the most beautiful traditional irish song: its original author is unknown, but the modern lyrics were written mostly by Padraic Colum. Most modern arrangements of the song can be traced to the recording by Fairport Convention in 1968, who adopted the style of the song from the travelling singer Margaret Barry. Also of note is the recording of the song by Alan Stivell in 1973.
Here I try to play it only for fingerstyle acoustic guitar. This adaptation is mine and I play it with my McIlroy guitar, tuning in DADGBD.

I need to prepare a CD with classical music that general people will enjoy.

bach, mozart, Vivaldi Beethoven ???

What do I add to it?? Please list some common classical concerts. Doesn’t matter if it’s an opera, or violin or piano.

This site has a bunch of great classical:

It’s just the "hits" of classical music, none of the boring stuff

i love their music and i play string bass, and i was just wondering if someone could tell me where to get their music, or if they just take the music offline, and play it on their Instruments?
any help is great!

I actually love some of their music even though they’re not a true classical ensemble. I especially like their covers of Coldplay and Kanye West.

I e-mailed Vitamin Records several time asking whether or not I could purchase sheet music from them, but I never received a single response. Damn record industry.

The great thing is, though, none of the VSQ’s music would be really hard to transcribe. I agree with Jacinta that you should try writing some of it out.

i’m going to the 7th grade and since i’m not THAT good so i’m guessing i’ll be in Advanced Orchestra instead of string ensemble. So does anyone have any websites with free music notes?

try googling "free paramore sheet music" and see what you come up with.
for other songs, you could try horsegirl15.blogspot.com/ [it has a lot of disney songs, like songs by the jonas brothers and miley cyrus and such].
hope i could help. =]

Looking for classical music for the wedding and since i am paying for it myself the whole price issue plays a big role in deciding who i can use. We found some nice quartets but they wanted outrageous amounts to play.
I live in the Charlotte,NC area and since i am paying for it myself the whole price of the services comes into play when deciding on who to use. I have found several quartets but the prices were astronomical.

Call the music dept. of local colleges or contact local music schools. The instructors will be able to refer advanced students who should be more than happy for the opportunity to perform.

I’m currently playing classical and pop (marching) music and am interested in upgrading my mouthpiece (4C, there’s a lot of room for improvement). I for sure plan on continuing with the marching, but I still want a mouthpiece usable for classical playing, as I might pursue that as well.

I’m planning on spending under $100, and have no clue about mouthpiece quality.

Also, what effect do chamber and facing have on sound?

You’ll want to get a Selmer mouthpiece, ask about specific models at the store. Facing affects the gap between the reed and the tip of the mouthpiece. With larger facings, you can push more air through the sax and be louder, but with smaller ones, there is better tone and control.
