"I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" was recorded by Aerosmith for the smash hit 1998 film Armageddon, and it immediately became a huge success. The soulful power ballad debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, where it remained for 4 weeks, and it remains the band's biggest hit to this day; and of course it's still a very popular request for slow dances and weddings. As the cellist for Aerosmith's Las Vegas residency show, I've performed this song with the band over 40 times, so this one has a special place in my heart! This arrangement for string quartet maintains the beautiful harmonic layers, soaring melodies and countermelodies, driving beat, and dynamic passion of the original, for a chart that your audience will love listening to as much as you love playing it! Originally commissioned for a wedding ceremony, this will also beperfect for receptions, proposals, pop concerts, or any other occasion that you need to pull on your audience's heartstrings. Rated advanced intermediate, mainly for a number of tricky rhythms and a few high notes in the violin parts.
