Indie pop singer Ruelle began her career as a country rock artist, but ended up switching to a more cinematic electro-pop style of music. With her songs featured on dozens of TV shows and movies, she has become a cult favorite artist, and her song "I Get To Love You" is (so far!) her biggest hit on the Billboard charts. The song has since become a wedding-music staple - in fact, this arrangement was originally commissioned for a bride's processional. Perfect for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, and even proposals, this arrangement for string trio (two violins and cello) maintains the beautiful layered harmonies and string lines of the original song, with the underlying heartbeat of the piano line represented in the violin parts. Playable for students and sightreadable for professionals - rated advanced intermediate only for a handful of unusual rhythms and the left-hand stamina the violinists will need for the etude-like piano line! :)

"Can You Feel The Love Tonight" was originally written for the Disney animated film The Lion King in 1994.

Originally commissioned for a wedding ceremony, this Cellobat chart for two-violin and cello trio is a beautiful string rendition of this popular song, with soaring vocal lines, beautiful harmonies and countermelodies, and a fun tremolo intro that duplicates the feel of the original movie version.

On its way to becoming a wedding classic, this love song describes falling hard for someone at the beginning of a relationship, but also looking forward to a future together as a family with children.

"Never Break" was the finale track on John Legend's 2020 album release, Bigger Love.

Originally commissioned for a wedding ceremony, this arrangement of "Never Break" for two-violin and cello trio will be perfect for weddings, receptions, proposals, cocktail hour, pop concerts, solo & ensemble concerts, and any other occasion where you need to lift your audience's spirits! Full of soaring melodies and dynamic passion, this arrangement is just as much fun to listen to as it is to play.

"Se�orita" was released in June of 2019, and it quickly became a massive hit. Debuting at number 2 on the charts, it made its way up and became Shawn Mendes' first number one hit in the US (and Camila Cabello's second).
