This sparkling duet for two basses is a classic soundtrack revival and homage to one of the best music score composers: Henry Mancini.
A nice piece of chamber music to add in the 21st century double bass repertoire!

"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).

Rated advanced-intermediate for some complex, almost improvisational-sounding rhythms in the violin parts; the viola and cello parts are more of an early-intermediate level.
