By Christopher Bridges, James Phillips, Jonathan Smith, La Marquis Jefferson, Laurence Smith, and Sean Garrett. Arranged by Levi Comstock. Chamber,Film/TV,Hip-Hop,Pop,R & B. 12 pages. Viola Fusion #1045814. Published by Viola Fusion (A0.1467536). This 2004 hit by Usher topped the charts for 12 consectutive weeks, during which time that catchy ostinato Burned itself into literally every Millenial brain everywhere, and they will be so excited when you bust this one out at your next gig. They will be scremin Yeah, and you will book five more weddings right then and there.A little known fact is that Usher origionally scored this piece for a consort of viola de gamba, before reconceiving it as a hip hop song, where it found wider appeal. It is that original source material which inspired this work for modern string quartet. One a one-to-ten, this arrangement is a certified twenty.
