I made a string quartet arrangement of one of my favorite @Nils Frahm pieces, "Ode" from his album "Solo".

I've always enjoyed the tenderness and delicacy of this piece, especially on a night where the moon is out. I imagine it as an ode to two lovers holding each other in the fragile quiet of their first night together. The three chord and then two chord refrain seems to say "I love you...I do".

Please enjoy.
