Product Description
"Viva La Vida" was released in 2008 as the second single from Coldplay's album Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. With its catchy string-based hook and sing-along-able chorus, the song quickly gained critical acclaim and commercial success, becoming the band's first-ever number one single. This fun version for solo cello will be perfect for weddings, receptions, cocktail parties, solo & ensemble contests, and any other event that needs an uplifting tune. You're sure to get your audience singing along! No accompaniment part -- it stands alone, or can be played with a backing track for solo gigs. (If you're using a backing track, note that this arrangement has been transposed to the more cello-friendly key of G major.) Intermediate to advanced-intermediate level arrangement in the original key of Ab major that has a number of syncopated rhythms and goes up to 4th position -- this will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.
