MUSICAL E-CARDS

17th December 2011
Just in time for Christmas, we have introduced the first cards in a new range of animated musical E-Cards exclusive to Strings, which subscribers can send out with personalised messages to friends and family.

Customers who have enjoyed our rather quirky musical animations on YouTube will (we hope...) appreciate these too. There are more to come but so far we have three Christmas animations, two for new year, a birthday card particularly suitable for children, and a celebration/any occasion card (featured above) that will appeal to anyone of any age with a sense of the ridiculous:

Three French Hens (Bach) A card for those curious about the exact nature of the hens in the 12 days of Christmas (accompanied by the second movement of JS Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major i.e. Air on the G String).

Three French Hens (Albinoni) As above but accompanied by the second movement of Tomaso Albinoni's Oboe Concerto.

Merry Musical Christmas A card featuring cello-based creation Mr Bowhead (AKA Monsieur Beaujolais) as he dances to/conducts part of Tomaso Albinoni's Oboe Concerto in the snow outside the Royal Albert Hall.

Harmonious Happy New Year Mr Bowhead (AKA Monsieur Beaujolais) accompanies Tomaso Albinoni's Oboe Concerto but not on an oboe.

Harmonious Happy Birthday (Albinoni) Mr Bowhead enjoys the third movement of Albinoni's Oboe Concerto outside the Royal Albert Hall.

Pitch Perfect Celebration

Charlie and Merlin have taken time out of their busy schedules to do a virtuoso performance of the third movement of Beethoven's violin concerto in D opus 61.

Copyright-free music is used on these cards from http://musopen.org/ website which we would recommend customers to explore.

You may send unlimited numbers of any of these (and all forthcoming Strings' musical E-Cards) to whoever you like, whenever you like, wherever you like for just £6 (incl VAT) for an entire year! To subscribe click here.
