"Feels Like Home" was originally penned for a musical by Oscar-winning film score composer Randy Newman; it has since been covered as a stand-alone song by a number of different artists. The most successful version of the song by far was this one, sung by Chantal Kreviazuk and featured in the TV show Dawson's Creek and the movie How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. This version for string quartet is a beautiful rendition with lots of feeling, featuring soaring melodies, gorgeous layers of harmony, and the ever-present piano rhythms guiding the song along in the V2 and viola parts. This arrangement was commissioned for a wedding, and it's definitely the perfect love ballad for not only ceremonies but cocktail hour, receptions, private events, solo and ensemble contests, or any other occasion that needs a midtempo sentimental groove. Rated intermediate - playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.

(This Is) A Fine RomanceA Rivendell String Quartet Arrangement - The Pop Standards SeriesFred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made ten motion pictures together: nine for RKO, and one for MGM. Everybody has their favorite, and mine is \"Swing Time\" (1936). Ohio State University professor and Astaire expert John Mueller has cited \"Swing Time\" for possessing \"the greatest dancing in the history of the universe.\" The dance sequences for \"Swing Time\" (e.g. \"Never Gonna Dance\") are considered by dance writer Arlene Croce to be the high point of their art. Dorothy Fields and Jerome Kern (with a little help from Robert Russell Bennett) produced a magnificent score which included \"Pick Yourself Up,\" the Oscar-winning \"The Way You Look Tonight,\" \"Waltz in Swing Time,\" \"(This Is) A Fine Romance,\" \"Bojangles of Harlem,\" and \"Never Gonna Dance.\" As a special treat, at the end of the film Astaire and Rogers sing shortened versions of \"A Fine Romance\" and \"The Way You Look Tonight\" simultaneously. As can be seen from this current arrangement, the two songs fit together beautifully!Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/rivendellarrangements.
