Steve McGarvie Music
Darlington, UK
Welcome to the site! This is the place to find details of all of Steve's projects, including community choirs, private instrumental teaching and musical arrangements for a range of ensembles.
Choral Arrangements
Most of the current arrangements available to purchase were originally written for Well-Versed Community Choir. All arrangements are SATB unless stated otherwise.
Arrangements cost £30 for a PDF download of the full score (unless stated otherwise). You will then be able to print as many copies as necessary for your group for no extra charge. In addition, an MP3 backing track with all non-a cappella arrangements is provided for rehearsal purposes.
If there is a song you'd like to have arranged, go to the Request page and fill in your details on the form, when a quote for the arrangement will be given soon after.
