"Can You Feel The Love Tonight" was originally written for the Disney animated film The Lion King in 1994. Composed by Elton John with lyrics by Tim Rice, the song ended up reaching the top 5 on the Billboard charts and won an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Now a universally beloved classic, this song is requested often for events and is a must-have for your gig books! 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. I promise it's just as much fun to play as it is to listen to! This will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals -- rated advanced-intermediate for some tricky rhythms.

Originally inspired by a spiritual, "Stand By Me" was written and recorded in 1961 by famed R&B singer-songwriter Ben E. King. The catchy, soulful tune immediately went to #1 on the R&B charts, and ended up becoming a Top Ten on the Billboard charts twice -- once for its original release, and again in 1986 when it was used as the theme song for a movie of the same name. This song has been deemed "culturally and historically significant" and it has remained one of the most beloved songs in history for decades, so you can't go wrong having this one in your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your two-violin and cello trio maintains the fun groove, catchy melody, and joyful feel of the original, while adding in a number of beautiful harmonic and countermelodic layers that put this chart above and beyond the rest! Rated intermediate -- there are some fun syncopated rhythms throughout, but none of the parts go above 2nd position, and this will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.
