This song is written in 12/8, which is commonly used in slow rock and pop ballad. It could be an excellent exercise to learn the compound rhythm. Once you get used to reading and feeling the notes in groups of 3, it makes more sense. However with the 16notes in the music, a 12/8-bar is way too long and clumsy to read, hence in this arrangement, each bar is divided into two by a dotted barline because a 12/8-bar is actually two 6/8-bars.

This arrangement follows the complete song form as the original recording. All sections are labeled, along with the chord symbols and lyrics. The first verse and second verse have different LH accompaniment, and the bridge has some exciting stops adhere to the melody, which is fun to play.


Suitable for students Grade 5 and above.

This arrangement of ?Lover? by Taylor Swift can be performed as a String Quartet or a StringTrio, since the 2nd Violin part is optional. This song will have folks singing along andfeeling love in the air! Violin 1 and Viola trade the melody.

One thing that sets my arrangements apart from othersis that I fit all of my parts on 2sheets of music. This makes it sothe songs can fit into a binder, without the need for flipping pages!

Another great thing (formulti-instrumental arrangements) is that I include cue lines on each part, so that every player in the ensemble cansee one other person?s music at the same time. This is so amazingly useful and has saved countless performances in thepast. If someone skips a beat or missesa measure, you can now see where they are and reconnect! This also helps withsight-reading and keeping the group together in general.
