"Tennessee Whiskey" was originally written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove in 1981. It has since been recorded by several notable country artists, but the most commercially successful of these was Chris Stapleton in 2015, whose version shot to the top of the charts and was certified platinum after he performed it with Justin Timberlake at the Country Music Association awards. This arrangement for solo cello was originally commissioned for a wedding prelude, and it maintains the beautiful melodic lines, passionate dynamic changes, and steady groove of the original. This sweet and slow country love song describes how love can lift you out of a dark place in your life, so of course it will be perfect not just for weddings, but for receptions, proposals, cocktail hour, parties, and any other occasion you want your audience to start slow-dancing! No accompaniment part -- it stands alone, or can be played with a backing track for solo gigs. Rated advanced-intermediate for a LOT of complex, almost improvisational-sounding rhythms and some high notes (up to 4th position).

Merry Christmas and get your greenery here!
You'll find this a light, whimsical prelude for recital, Winter gathering, or church service. The melody passes back and forth between the four parts, so each of the cellists can shine!

Included in this medley are:

The Holly and the Ivy
Greensleeves
Sing We Noel Christmas (which is not green, but it horned its way into the arrangement anyhow)
Playtime is 3:40
Parts: Part 1 is written in bass, tenor, and treble clefs, Part 2 in bass and tenor clefs, Part 3 in bass and treble, and Part 4 is in bass with a phrase in tenor clef.

History: This piece was arranged to be played before a church service during the Advent season. It has since been played for parties, receptions, and recitals. You'll find this piece a refreshingly light addition to any playlist. I'd love to hear how you've chosen to use it.
