Happy Birthday

Surprise the birthday guest of honour with an extraordinary musical feast! "Happy Birthday – A Birthday Menu in Five Courses", published by Schott Music, transforms the world-famous classic into a witty and versatile concert experience for strings. Whether served festively, garnished with virtuosity, or performed with a charming twinkle in the eye: these five original movements provide pure playing enjoyment for any string quartet. For an even richer sound, the ensemble can be flexibly expanded with an optional double bass (ad libitum). This delightful work is the perfect highlight for celebrations, serenades, or entertaining concert encores. Thanks to the practical score and parts download, the sheet music is instantly ready to perform – accessible, flexible, and guaranteed to be an unforgettable musical gift!
