Hello Temis!
This week's newsletter features a very special and captivating song: our Violin Quartet cover of the iconic 1950s hit, 'Mr. Sandman,' originally by the legendary vocal group The Chordettes!
Mr. Sandman: A Dreamlike Harmony
'Mr. Sandman,' released in 1954, is known for its smooth, whimsical, and ethereal atmosphere. The Chordettes' signature is their near-a cappella, flawless four-part harmony. The distinct 'Bum bum bum bum bum' chorus and the sweet melody create a feeling of gently asking the Sandman (the fairy of sleep) to bring a beautiful dream.
🎻 Reborn as a Violin Quartet!
We've captured the original charm while infusing it with the rich texture and profound blend of a violin quartet.
Melody and Harmony: The four vocal parts of the original song are perfectly distributed among the four string instruments. The unique, clear, and deep resonance of the strings elevates the song's dreamlike harmony, making it even more elegant and enchanting.
Reimagined with the attractive depth of classical string instruments, our 'Mr. Sandman' cover will bring a sweet moment of relaxation and romance to your day.
🎬 Cover Video and Sheet Music Revealed!
Along with our 'Mr. Sandman' Violin Quartet cover video, we've prepared the 1st Position Violin Sheet Music and a detailed tutorial so you can play this beautiful piece yourself.
We wish you a week filled with beautiful music and happiness!
