Repertoire: Classical, Popular Music, and Beyond
We are an ensemble of full-time professional, classically trained musicians. Each instrumental combination in classical music has its own literature written by the greatest composers in history, designed to make best use of its particular sonorities. The Fensgate Chamber Players library of classical literature is highly extensive. The breadth of the literature can be daunting, but Music Director Brian Clague will be delighted to help you select music appropriate to your tastes and to the ensemble you select.
We also love playing pop covers, and are constantly adding arrangements to our repertoire. You may scroll down to see our current list. We know that many clients have a favorite song, and we are pleased to offer one free personalized arrangement of a favorite song, assuming the song is suitable for our instruments and that a piano/vocal score is readily available. Additionally, commercial arrangements are increasingly available, so don’t be afraid to ask for your favorite music. We necessarily reserve our right to decline to perform pieces which we believe will not sound well, or that we believe are not appropriate to the occasion or venue. We have the experience to tell you in advance whether or not a given tune will successfully translate well to our instrumentation.
Our special arrangements have brought joy to many who have requested them. It’s a friendly gift from our ensemble to you, our clients!

It is important to note that some of the listed arrangements were written specifically for processional or recessional purposes and are therefore of short duration. It is also very important to note that not all arrangements are available for every combination of instruments. For example, very few pop tunes work well as a duet.
Other Arrangements
In addition to the tunes listed above, we have nice collections of Gershwin, Porter, Joplin, Rogers and Hammerstein, Leroy Anderson, Tangos, and beautiful religious literature from both the Christian and Hebraic traditions.
Vitamin String Quartet
People often request music by the Vitamin String Quartet. These excellent VSQ arrangements are usually totally proprietary, are seldom available, and when available are very expensive. We are pleased to perform them for clients who wish to purchase them. To save our clients money, rather than have folks incur additional expenses, we have elected to write our own arrangements for your enjoyment.
