I need sheet music for "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys (from "Pet
Sounds," of course) for a STRING QUARTET.
Unfortunately, it needs to be for a string quartet specifically (ie,
not a guitar tab). I don't really know anything about
music, but i will try to contact the quartet in question if anyone
would like clarifications on what does/doesn't qualify.
An internet address where I can order it is preferable, but any music
store that will ship it or whatever is fine. Not sure about an offer
to personally transcribe the sheet music, since I don't really know
what the going rate for such a thing would be. |

Some sort of string duo arrangement would probably suffice.

You have to order at least 6 copies but hey, they're only $1.75 each
(for a total of $9.42 = $2.99 shipping). Ships in 24 hours.
Waiting to hear back from you;

Sorry, should have said "$9.42 PLUS $2.99 shipping"

I noted another mistake. Either I am dyslexic or they are actually
cheaper than I thought ($1.57 each)

Ah.... maybe. That seems to be for vocals for an A cappela rendering?
I don't know if that will work, but let me run it by the quartet and
see. (I personally can't decipher music at all, so I can't really
judge on my own.) There seem to be some others on that site that may
be promising. Thanks, I'll get back to you.

Excellent. I'll be waiting. In the meantime here's another option you
might consider. If you can't find what you're looking for you can have
one made for you:
SHEET MUSIC 1
http://www.sheetmusic1.com/recommended.beachboys.html
Here you can purchase a note-for-note transcription, classic ensemble,
or custom arrangement of 'God Only Knows' in any key of your choice,
or you can transpose only the solo line for 18 different instruments.
It is billed as the most comprehensive Beach Boys collection in print.
Now, I haven't found ANYONE who beat that.
Let me know;

I forwarded your suggestions to the quartet, and I'm waiting to hear
back from them (on whether they can work with it), so please be
patient. I promise I will get back to you as soon as possible. Don't
worry- I haven't forgotten!
