Custom Chamber Music: custom arrangements of classical music for chamber groups

What Do You Get From Custom Chamber Music?

What kinds of music do we arrange?

You can see (and purchase) some of our existing Custom Chamber Music arrangements at CCM Classics.

For new custom arrangements, we focus mainly on 17th, 18th, and 19th century music. This includes:

Baroque music (Bach, Buxtehude, Corelli, Clarke, Couperin, Handel, Pachelbel, Purcell, Rameau, Scarlatti, Telemann, Vivaldi, ...)
Classical music (Beethoven, Boccherini, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Paganini, Schubert, ...)
Romantic music (Berlioz, Bizet, Brahms, Bruckner, Dvorak, Grieg, Mussorgsky, Puccini, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rossini, Schubert, Schumann, Smetana, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, Wagner, ...)

But we will also consider earlier (medieval/renaissance) or later music if it is public domain and if we can find a source. We only arrange music that is in the public domain or is owned by us (to be safe, we usually don't do anything after 1900).

The music you want might already be chamber music. For example, you might want a violin and piano sonata switched to solo flute with string trio accompaniment. Or you might want a quartet reduced to duet. But you might also want something from the full orchestral repertoire: symphony, overture, concerto, divertimento, suite, concerto grosso, fanfare, dance, march, opera aria...

Your custom arrangement might be for any number of musicians: solo, duet, trio, quartet, quintet, sextet, septet, octet, string orchestra, or wind ensemble. It can include any combination of:

Woodwind (piccolo, flute, oboe, English horn, recorder, clarinet, bass clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, contrabassoon...)
Brass (trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn/fluegelhorn, French horn, trombone, baritone, euphonium, tuba, ...)
String (violin, viola, cello, bass, ...)

What are the arrangements like?

Our goal is to remain true to the original, within the limits of the instrumentation. We do not reinterpret the music or arrange it in the style of someone else. However, for legal reasons, we remove tempos, dynamics, and other markings from our music sources (without access to the composer's original manuscript it is usually impossible to tell whether they were added by a later editor and might be protected by copyright).

What do you need to do?

Just request a price quote for a particular composer and composition, and tell us what instrumentation you want. We will quickly research your music and email you a quote with exactly how much your custom arrangement will cost. There is no obligation until you agree to the price.
