"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.
