About this arrangement

String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1104887 Composed by Frank Zappa. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. 20th Century,Chamber,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Pop. 37 pages. Jmsgu3 #708126. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1104887). Score: 21 pages. Duration: ca. 6:50Frank Zappa's "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" is a classic rock song from his 1967 album Absolutely Free. The song is an example of Zappa's trademark satirical lyrics and complex musical composition. The lyrics take aim at materialistic and superficial values in American society, with Zappa's darkly humorous delivery and colorful imagery. Musically, the song combines a range of styles including psychedelic rock, avant-garde jazz, and funk. The instrumentation includes Zappa's trademark electric guitar, as well as vibraphone, organ, and percussion. The song's arrangement is also noteworthy for its use of extended instrumental passages and multiple tempo changes. "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" is a prime example of Zappa's experimental and iconoclastic approach to rock music, and remains a favorite of fans and critics alike.
