SKU: HL.50603644 For 8 Cellos. Composed by John Tavener. Arranged by Steven Isserlis. String. Softcover. Duration 180 seconds. Chester Music #CH88139. Published by Chester Music (HL.50603644). ISBN 9781705125328. UPC: 840126950311.Arranger's note: John Tavener's Three Shakespeare Sonnets received their world premiere just three days after his death, and were broadcast by the BBC a few days later. Listening to the broadcast, I was struck by how almost unbearably apposite the title of the third of the sonnets No longer mourn for me, seemed - and how tenderly beautiful the music was. Maybe even then the idea passed through my head that the piece would sound beautiful for cello choir. In the event, I arranged it some time later; Id' like to think that the cellos are a perfect substitute for the voices.
