Flowing and easy-to-play version of lovely and moving Randy Newman song. Perfect for chamber parties, wedding gigs, student recitals, etc.

More history on this song from Wikipedia:

"Feels Like Home" is a song written by Randy Newman for the musical Randy Newman's Faust, in which Bonnie Raitt sung it. Linda Ronstadt, also involved in the musical, recorded it for Trio II in 1994, but released it for solo album Feels Like Homein March 1995. Raitt's version was released on the musical's album soundtrack in September 1995. Raitt's version was also used the following year in the soundtrack to the film Michael. Linda Ronstadt's original version, with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton, the latter of whom was mixed out of Ronstadt's original release due to label disputes, was released in 1999.

The most successful version of the song was a version sung by Chantal Kreviazuk and released as a single from the 1999 soundtrack Songs from Dawson's Creek. The Kreviazuk version reached the top 40 in Ireland and the top 20 in the Canadian adult contemporary chart, and was later included on some editions of her 2002 album What If It All Means Something.

*Video demonstrates the very similar quartet version of this trio arrangement.* An accurate and challenging rendition of the popular waltz from Studio Ghibli's movie "Howl's Moving Castle". Lots of fun for all players, and many tempo changes to coordinate. 5 minutes.

Arranged for [2 violins + cello] or [violin + viola + cello]. Includes both a Violin 2 and Viola version of the middle part.

My string arrangements are faithful to the original song, with ample rehearsal letters, minimal bowings, and only minor adjustments to pop melodies to facilitate playing and sightreading. Parts are error-free, tested and enjoyed by professional musicians at weddings and private events.

Arranged for Violin, Viola & Cello, but includes a Violin 2 version of the viola part, so can be Vln 1 & 2 + Cello.

Cohen's timeless classic, made famous in part by some of it's many cover versions including John Cale and Jeff Buckley (to which this arrangement gives a nod in the form of its undulating viola/Violin 2part), and brought to a new generation in the film 'Shrek'. This is a faithful arrangement to the original, featuring all three verses. Whilst the middle part may look tricky, it's easy under the fingers (and how rare for a violist to be featured so prominently throughout!). Arranged by professional cellist and arranger Dury Loveridge, this is great for school groups and for wedding and function string trios.

A shortened version of the enduring pop tune by Coldplay. Very successful for students, especially high school ensembles, weddings and other gigs. The length is just about right for the song without lyrics. Some double stops involved, but easy to grab. Great for working on syncopation, too.

This much-loved classic is made even better with the use of beautiful suspensions & passing tones. Violists will love playing this version because they get a chance to play part of the melody. To give the ensemble another performance option, a second violin part is included in this set.

Calvin Harris and Rihanna's smash hit "We Found Love" topped the charts in 2011 and it's been a favorite at clubs, parties, and on the radio ever since.
