Bollywood Quartet Notes

For performers who are playing my Bollywood String Quartet arrangements, I have compiled a guide to each quartet to give you a reference point for many of the Indian melodic lines in your parts.

Below each video is a list of measure numbers that are double-starred (**) in the score. Please listen to the given timings for reference (clicking on each link will take you to a link that displays the video from that timing on YouTube. Or feel free to scroll to that timing on the video on this page.)

If you are not currently performing these arrangements, but would like more information about how to program them at your event, please contact Reena via the Contact Page. All commercial performances are managed through RRM Productions.
