Sarah's article on Arranging Strings

Sarah wrote an article for Canadian Musicians on arranging strings. The full page goes into great detail relating what she hears in the scores of others and in her own work. I am uncertain of the date of this article but recently Sarah was in Paris scoring strings for a Paris Orchestra.
Strings, glorious, strings. Who can
resist them? In my view, their
power to manipulate emotion is
unsurpassed. The timbre of the
violin is closest to that of the human
voice – and perhaps this is why we find
it so irresistibly, painfully beautiful...

- Sarah Slean, Canadian Musician

An image of this article is posted on Sarah's official site here, but you can view the entire PDF on Canadian Musician. The file also contains articles from fellow artists Sarah has shared the stage with like Ron Sexsmith and Emm Gryner.
