British singer/songwriter James Arthur came onto the global scene after his victory on the TV show "The X Factor" and has been winning people over with his soulful voice ever since! His song "Say You Won't Let Go" is a beautiful ballad about life, love, and the longevity of relationships, and it has become increasingly popular as a wedding-music staple. Perfect for ceremonies, cocktail hour, and even proposals, this arrangement for string quartet brings the powerful song to life with just as much passion, soul, and dynamic variety as the original. Playable for advanced-intermediate students and sightreadable for professionals - make sure your cellist and violist keep a steady beat on the syncopated acoustic-guitar line!

Les Indes Galantes (French: "The Amorous Indies") is an opera by Jean-Philippe Rameau with a libretto by Louis Fuzelier. It takes the form of an op�ra-ballet with a prologue and (in its final form) four entr�es (acts). Following an allegorical prologue, the four entr�es have distinct and separate plots, but are unified by the theme of love in exotic places (The Ottoman Empire, Peru, Persia, and North America). The most famous pieces from the work, Danse des Sauvages and the final Chaconne, come from the final entr�e (Les sauvages).

The premiere, including only the prologue and the first two of its four entr�es (acts), was staged by the Acad�mie Royale de Musique at itstheatre in the Palais-Royal in Paris on 23 August 1735, starring the leading singers of the Op�ra, Marie Antier, Marie P�lissier, Mlle Err�mans, Mlle Petitpas, Denis-Fran�ois Tribou, Pierre J�lyotte, and Claude-Louis-Dominique Chass� de Chinais, and the dancers Marie Sall� and Louis Dupr�. Michel Blondy provided the choreography. The ballet's Premier Menuet was used in the soundtrack of the 2006 film Marie Antoinette.

The Sauvages: The stage shows a grove in a forest in America, on the borders of the French and Spanish colonies, where the ceremony of the Peace Pipe is about to be celebrated

Adario, a Native American, is in love with Zima, daughter of a native chief, but he fears the rivalry of the Spaniard Don Alvar and the Frenchman Damon (Air: Rivaux des mes exploits, rivaux des mes amours). The Europeans plead with Zima for her love, but she says Damon is too fickle and Alvar is too jealous; she prefers the natural love shown by Adario (Air: Sur nos bords l'amour vole) and the couple vow to marry (Duet: Hymen, viens nous unir d'une cha�ne �ternelle). The act ends with the Europeans joining the natives in the ceremony of peace (Chorus: For�ts paisibles).
