This arrangement of Wayne Shorter's One by One is a relatively easy jazz piece for intermediate ensembles. It works well with medium-sized cello ensembles with one to three cellists for each of the four parts.

This arrangement of Coldplay's Viva la Vida for cello ensemble was originally created for a Boulder Cello Project collaboration with Chase the Music. An 11-page score and four separate two-page cello parts are included. It can be played by groups as small as a quartet and works best with at least two cellists per part.

The thick texture of a cello ensemble is offset with driving articulated rhythms to bring vibrant energy to this piece that can only be offered by strings. In concert settings, optionally add driving bass drum quarter notes throughout, slightly ahead of the beat. Duration is approximately 4:05 at the indicated tempo.

Funky fun!
This version is inspired by the groove on Harry Connick, Jr.'s rendition on the "When Harry Met Sally" movie soundtrack. (Note that this arrangement is not a copy so you'll have to look for that elsewhere if you want a transcription.) This one features a catchy bassline in the A sections interspersed with boogie and stride accompaniments in the B sections. It also includes lots of bluesy embellishments, and a fully-notated jazz solo that sounds improvised. Easier to play than it sounds, you'll have loads of funky fun working this one up for the holidays!

Originally written in 1966 by Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson for the Motown record label Tamla, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was recorded the following year by the power duo of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and it became an immediate success. This song is still just as iconic today as it was then, and you really can't go wrong having it in your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for string quartet features the upbeat groove, back-and-forth vocal verses, and powerful chorus harmonies of the original for a chart that will be just as much fun to play as it is to listen to. You're sure to get your audience singing along! Rated advanced-intermediate mainly for some syncopated rhythms throughout and some high notes in the first violin part (up to 4th position); this will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.
