"All Of The Lights" is considered by many to be one of Kanye West's great masterpieces of music. With its detailed production and many layers of instruments, vocals, and effects, the powerful song was critically acclaimed upon its release in 2011 and ended up winning two Grammy awards. Many people have no idea how to translate this song for strings, resulting in charts that make no musical sense or "abridged" versions that just repeat the first minute and call it a day. This is NOT one of those charts! This Cellobat chart for string quartet is a full arrangement of the entire 5-minute album version of "All Of The Lights," manifesting even the rap sections and interstitial passages into a driving, harmonious, great-sounding, and fun-to-play arrangement. This was originally commissioned for a wedding, but you won't regret having it in your gig binders for any occasion! This epic chart will be playable for intermediate to advanced-intermediate students and sightreadable for professionals.

Once Upon a Time in the West is a soundtrack composed by Ennio Morricone, from the 1968 western film of the same name directed by Sergio Leone, released in 1972. The film score sold about 10 million copies worldwide. The soundtrack features leitmotifs that relate to each of the main characters of the movie (each with their own theme music), as well as to the spirit of the American West. The theme music for the Claudia Cardinale character has wordless vocals by Italian singer Edda Dell'Orso.

This arrangement for string quartet (Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello) includes two different keys: A Major and G Major to meet all the executive possibilities of the musicians.

The composition is suitable for repertoire, classroom, recital and weddings.
