Sleepers Awake (for string quartet)

-- J.S. Bach, arr. by Ronald Dishinger and Matt Springer

Ronald Dishinger arranged Sleepers Awake for string quintet, and published it through his company, Medici Music Press. I condensed the string quintet version into a string quartet version, using some unorthodox, but successful, voicings so that the string quartet version works quite well, and I offered this version to Ronald Dishinger. The result has been published by Medici Music Press in 2001 as a Dishinger/ Springer arrangement.
