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.

Why choose Cellobat Charts arrangements? For any musician who knows what they're doing, the answer is easy: just listen to them.

But watch out -- inferior arrangements not only make gigs less enjoyable to play, but they also make your group sound bad to your client and audience, no matter how great your players really are. That's why Cellobat Charts is here: to provide students and working string players alike with high-quality versions of highly requested music. My arrangements are guaranteed to be energetic, fun to play, and enjoyable to listen to, whether or not you're familiar with the original songs. Hear the difference for yourself!

Here's "One Summer's Day" from "Spirited Away"

Composed by Joe Hisaishi (久石 譲), the film's soundtrack won many awards, including the Best Music Award at the Tokyo International Anime Fair 2001.

"Spirited Away" (千と千尋の神隠し) is a 2001 Japanese film by Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿). It was voted #4 of BBC's 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century (the highest-ranking anime film)!

This Arrangement for String Quartet has the intention of taking advantage of the large range of colours that bowed instruments can reproduce, featuring a variety of techniques, nothing else to say but "enjoy playing it!"

Here is my arrangement of Joe Hisaishi's "One Summer's Day" from the 2001 animated film, Spirited Away, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. However, I will note that this arrangement is more based on Joe Hisaishi's concert versions that you will find on most of his albums, and not the movie version, although both are nearly identical. I did add some musical techniques that are not present in the original piece ( ex. the tremolos in the very beginning), but those techniques were mainly used to help translate the piano parts in the original into more idiomatic parts for each instrument, and the overall majority of the arrangement is still very faithful towards its source material. That being said, there are some two-note chords, large interval jumps, various dynamic and tempo changes, and other very subtle details that I would expect an intermediate to advanced-intermediate group to be able to perform successfully. I hope you enjoy this arrangement!
