The Merry-go-round of Life (String Quartet)-Joy.Hisaichi

This is an arrangement of "Merry-Go-Round of Life" from the film Howl's Moving Castle, scored for string ensemble.

It can also be performed as a string quartet. I have kept the arrangement as close to the original as possible; while some of Joe Hisaishi’s melodies can be challenging to play on string instruments, I have adapted them so that players at an early-intermediate level can also enjoy performing the piece.

The reference audio provided is a multi-track recording performed by a single person.

As a result, the tempo may not be perfectly consistent, but in an actual performance, I encourage you to play with a flexible sense of tempo.
