This arrangement of Coldplay's Viva la Vida for cello ensemble was originally created for a Boulder Cello Project collaboration with Chase the Music. An 11-page score and four separate two-page cello parts are included. It can be played by groups as small as a quartet and works best with at least two cellists per part.

The thick texture of a cello ensemble is offset with driving articulated rhythms to bring vibrant energy to this piece that can only be offered by strings. In concert settings, optionally add driving bass drum quarter notes throughout, slightly ahead of the beat. Duration is approximately 4:05 at the indicated tempo.

This arrangement of Coldplay's Viva la Vida was designed for intermediate players.

Contemporary a cappella arrangement of VIVA LA VIDA by Coldplay for Solo + SATB and optional vocal percussion.

Viva La Vida by Coldplay, for Choir (SSAATB) and Piano. Infectious and upbeat, arranged with rich harmonies and busy repeating vocal lines that recreate the energy and texture of the original record. The great big chorus and driving piano accompaniment make this a favourite with singers and concert-goers.

"Viva La Vida" was released by Coldplay as a single in 2008 to immediate critical and commercial success. It went on to become the band's first number one US and UK single, and it won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 2009. With its catchy string hook and upbeat melody, it's no wonder that this song is now a ubiquitous request -- so you can't go wrong with having it in your gig books! This arrangement was originally commissioned for a wedding cocktail hour, but it's sure to be requested for wedding ceremonies and receptions, and will also be great for parties, corporate events, solo & ensemble contests and any other occasion in need of some good vibes. This arrangement for violin and cello duet captures the soul of the original song with its lyrical melody lines, dynamic variations,and driving beat, for a chart that's just as much fun to play as it is to listen to! This is an intermediate level arrangement that will be easily learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals -- there are a few tricky rhythms, but both parts stay in first position throughout.
