Released as a single from the Pixies' second album in 1989, "Here Comes Your Man" soon became one of the band's biggest hits. Described by some critics as the band's breakthrough song, its catchy chorus and 'vintage college rock' feel brought it into the top five on the Billboard Modern Rock chart, and helped cement the band in popular culture from then on. Almost reminiscent of the Beatles, this song is sure to be a hit at weddings, receptions, proposals, parties, cocktail hour, and more! This Cellobat arrangement for string quartet is a lot of fun to play, with catchy soaring melodies and a joyful upbeat vibe -- and your violist will have a lot of fun playing the guitar solo in the middle. Rated intermediate; this isn't hard to play, but it's sure to make a big impact!

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 string quartet 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.

"Married Life," from the Disney/Pixar animated feature film Up, has become one of the most memorable pieces of music in Disney history. The song, which plays over a collection of vignettes showing the entire lifelong relationship of the main character and his wife, has one main theme throughout; the theme then goes through different variations to fit the tone of the events being shown. This song was so effective at portraying the couple's life through all its emotional ups and downs that it went on to win a Grammy award, and it has since become one of the most successful animated film scores to date!

This song has become very popular for weddings, but if you've seen the movie, you know that this scene ends on a very depressing note -- and most couples who request the song want to hear the cheerful lilting tune, but don't want their special day to include "the sad part at the end." This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet is a full 3-minute-long arrangement that includes just the fun variations of the melody, and stays happy and upbeat the entire time! This will be perfect for weddings, receptions, cocktail hour, proposals, or any other occasion you want your fairy tale to have a happy ending. Rated intermediate; this will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.
