Cellobat Chaffee Originally written in 1966 by Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson for the Motown record label Tamla, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was recorded the following year by the power duo of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and it became an immediate success. This song is still just as iconic today as it was then, and you really can't go wrong having it in your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for string quartet features the upbeat groove, back-and-forth vocal verses, and powerful chorus harmonies of the original for a chart that will be just as much fun to play as it is to listen to. You're sure to get your audience singing along! Rated advanced-intermediate mainly for some syncopated rhythms throughout and some high notes in the first violin part (up to 4th position); this will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.
