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. It might seem hard to believe that such a synth-heavy song could translate well to strings, but this arrangement will show you that it's possible! This upbeat, fun-to-play version of the catchy EDM hit for string trio (violin, viola, & cello) will be great for parties, receptions, cocktail hour, pop concerts, solo & ensemble contests, or any other occasion where you want to get people dancing and singing along. Sightreadable for professionals and easily playable for intermediate students - focus on the dynamic contrasts to add interest and intensity to the song.

Pure Imagination from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, arranged for string trio.

An optional Violin 2 part is included, so this arrangement can be played by:

Violin, Viola, Cello

Or

Violin 1, Violin 2, Cello

The String Trio is rooted in conventional tonality. It begins with a fanfare in D flat major, afterwards seeking a 'freer' tonality by means of the 'emancipation of the semitone', only to capitulate in the central section and, finally, to 'fall back to earth' by winding down in G sharp minor.

Individual parts are available on sale at SMP separately.

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.
