Helen Marple-Horvat #5010869. Published by Helen Marple-Horvat (A0.749225). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH_dlB9pK0IBritish singer-songwriter Adele recorded Make You Feel My Love for her debut studio album 19 in 2008. As it is such a popular hit I was surprised to find that the original was by Bob Dylan, from the album ‘Time out of Mind’ from 1997, and also that it has been covered many times by different artists.In writing this for string quartet, I have given the melody to viola and cello as well as first violin, and mostly made use of the harmony in Adele’s version of the song, adding a few dissonances to spice it up a bit. I also include an expansive string interlude section with some double stopping for the viola.The performance is by Capriccio Quartet, who play for weddings, seasonal events and parties in England.Although this quartet is suitable for professional musicians, young players will also be able to manage it with a few adaptations. Firstly, the key of G is a an easy one for strings.The cellist will need to be able to play in fourth position, but only on the A string, and the tempo is slow. There is some double stopping for the viola in the string interlude, but it includes an open G, which can also be left out altogether without losing much harmonic tension. The bowing is a guide only, so take as many bows as make you feel comfortable and use the open strings wherever you need.Let me know if you perform it, and send me any recordings as I love to hear them, especially those from young players. You can find me at my Youtube Channel, Helen Marple-Horvat, Songwriter, Arranger and Composer. There are lots of arrangements played by Capriccio Quartet to be viewed there and All but three of them are available from Sheet Music Plus.https://smppress.sheetmusicplus.com/p/manage-products/217069/edit
