Originally inspired by a spiritual, "Stand By Me" was written and recorded in 1961 by famed RandB singer-songwriter Ben E. King. The catchy, soulful tune immediately went to #1 on the RandB 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 violin and cello duo maintains the fun groove, catchy melody, and joyful feel of the original, plus a lyrical violin interpretation of the orchestral interlude in the middle, for a chart that's just as enjoyable to play as it is to listen to! Rated intermediate -- there are some syncopated rhythms throughout, but there's nothing too complicated here, and this chart will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.
