Everyone loves the Beatles - and since we all get Beatles requests so often, the more in your repertoire the better! This arrangement of "Eleanor Rigby" for string quartet is one of the first charts I ever wrote, so it has a special place in my heart. Taking a Phil Spector/"Wall of Sound" type approach, this is unlike any version of Eleanor Rigby you've ever heard before; it's packed with layers of exciting harmonies, countermelodies, and melodic tradeoffs between the parts. This arrangement is as fun to play as it is to listen to, and it will be great for pop concerts, weddings, receptions, cocktail parties, solo and ensemble contests, and any other event that needs some vintage rock and roll! Intermediate-level arrangement with a handful of tied notes and first-position double stops.
