From the composer of Lord of the Dance and Celtic Tiger comes this sensitive ballad, superbly arranged for string ensemble. The simple, soaring melody is contemporary Celtic style at its best, and students will love to perform this powerful concert feature. “Written in G and C, this nice andante piece recorded by Amici Forever is very accessible...The composition has some very flowing melodic writing and a beautiful arpeggio pattern in the cello.”--American String Teachers Association.

Excellent for Developing String Ensembles
This arrangement of "So Far Away" is fantastic for Grade 3-4 string students. The simple, soaring melody makes it excellent for teaching expressive playing and musicality. The accessible keys of G and C, along with clear parts, make sight-reading manageable. The cello's arpeggio pattern offers a nice technical challenge without being overwhelming. Highly recommended for school orchestras!

Versatile Score for Ensemble or Vocal Study
As a collaborative pianist, I appreciate this Grade 3-4 arrangement of Ronan Hardiman's "So Far Away." The piano part provides excellent harmonic and rhythmic grounding for the string ensemble without overpowering the soaring melodies in G and C. While an instrumental score, the beautifully crafted melodic lines, from a piece recorded by Amici Forever, offer great material for instrumental interpretation or even vocal phrasing analysis.

Beautiful and Achievable Celtic String Piece!
I absolutely love Ronan Hardiman's "So Far Away," especially from the Amici Forever recording! This Grade 3-4 string orchestra arrangement by Sean O'Loughlin captures the beautiful, soaring melody perfectly. Playing this with my community group is such a joy. The keys of G and C make it feel very accessible, and while the cello has a lovely arpeggio pattern, it's totally achievable for a dedicated weekend player. Highly recommend for pure enjoyment!
