Matthew Naughtin - Arrangements for Strings

About Me-- I am a violinist/violist, composer, arranger, and the Music Librarian of the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra. After spending many years playing bad arrangements at string quartet gigs, I decided to take matters in my own hands and write some musically interesting charts. The present collection is the result. I began selling these arrangements through the mail in 1985. As of 2007, over 2000 string ensembles all over the world are playing them, and they have become an indespensable resource for any gigging quartet.

These arrangements are written to be performed by string quartet. Bass parts are available to allow them to be performed by larger string ensembles. Some are more complex and challenging than others, but most can be performed at jobs with minimal rehearsal. A little experimentation will tell you which ones work best in noisy venues and which require quiet.

All of the arrangements are digitally typeset in beautifully legible Finale-engraved format, and are available as printed sheet music or as digital PDF files which can be downloaded and printed on your computer.
Arrangements can be ordered individually, in albums, or as a complete set.

DIGITAL PDFS

All of the arrangements are available via email in PDF format and can be opened and printed out on your home computer.
Not only is this a fast, easy way to get the music, but it saves the cost of postage for sheet music.

Also, the Complete Set can be purchased in PDF format on a compact disc or as an online download.
The PDF Complete Set includes bass parts and full scores for all the arrangements.
The digital complete set is available for $250--a 40% savings from the printed music price.

Individual arrangements (both printed and PDF) are $8.00 each. (Includes all four parts).

Albums (both printed and PDF) are $40.00 (Includes all four parts).

The printed version of the complete set is $350.00 (Postage included within the USA) (Includes all four parts).

Optional parts for Doublebass are available for all of the arrangements. If you want to include bass parts in your order, please add:

Individual arrangement---$2.00; Album---$10.00; Printed complete set---$75.00.

Printed albums are a set of parts bound with plastic comb binders.
The complete set includes everything listed on this order form (plus any arrangements I may have done recently) collected into one set.

About the Complete Set:

It is exactly what its name implies: a collection of EVERY string arrangement I have done.
The printed Complete Set is sent unbound, printed on 'letter-size' paper (8.5" x 11") pre-punched to be inserted into three-ring binders.
This makes the set less costly, and has proven to be convenient for quartets that wish to rearrange the order of the music for use at gigs.

Since European customers have sometimes been unable to obtain 'American' style binders that fit the paper,
I offer a set of 4 binders along with the music for an extra charge of $28.00 ($35.00 if Bass part is included).

I will also include binders for American customers who want them.
Please indicate that you wish to include binders when you place your order. Higher postage costs will apply.

To order by mail, send a list of the items you want along with a check (or you can use PayPal - see below) for the order total plus shipping (except for complete sets).
I send all orders within the USA via Priority Mail.

Shipping charges (within USA):
individual arrangements or single album -- $4.95
2 or more albums -- $10.35

Shipping charges for rush orders will be higher. I use FedEx for rush orders, so please check with me or the FedEx web site for the rate.
Orders from outside the continental United States are sent by International Priority mail.
