by Sarah Chaffee One of Queen's most beloved classic songs, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was written in 1979 as a tribute to Elvis Presley -- and the song's rockabilly groove, doo-wop feel, and blues-inspired bass definitely make that clear! This version for string quartet was originally commissioned for a wedding reception, and it will also be perfect for ceremonies, vow renewals, cocktail parties, solo and ensemble contests or any other occasion you need to get your audience dancing! Featuring the beautiful layered harmonies, rhythmic interest, back-and-forth dialogue between the instruments, and even the guitar solo of the original, this arrangement is just as much fun to play as it is to listen to. There are a handful of somewhat tricky rhythms in the V2 part, but overall this intermediate-level chart will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals. Have fun and swing those 8th notes! :)
