About this arrangement

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.749762 By John Denver. By Johnny Marks. Arranged by Stephen M. Taylor. Rock. Score and parts. 13 pages. SMT Music #6271655. Published by SMT Music (A0.749762). In 1939, Marks' brother-in-law, Robert L. May, created the character Rudolph as an assignment for Montgomery Ward, and Marks decided to adapt the story of Rudolph into a song. Later May got the rights to the song and Marks finally convinced Gene Autry to record it in 1949, after Bing Crosby turned it down. Autry didn't want to record it as he was a cowboy song singer and really wasn't interested. Fortunately, his wife liked it and got him to do it. It became his best seller and as a result her recorded Frosty the Snowman the next year. So much for cowboy songs !  You can find my arrangement of Frosty the Snowman on Sheet Music Plus as well. Happy playing. This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
