Product Description
Since its composition by the songwriting team of Wayne Carson, Mark James, and Johnny Christopher in 1971, "Always On My Mind" has been recorded by numerous artists and become a huge crossover hit. Elvis Presley recorded this song in 1972, shortly after separating from his wife Priscilla, and his version received major critical acclaim -- in fact, it was later voted the number one song of his recording career! This Cellobat arrangement for string quartet brings the original to life with lush harmonic layers, beautiful soaring melodies, dramatic call-and-response choruses, and a grand string interlude in the middle. Originally written for a wedding, this will also be perfect for receptions, cocktails, proposals, parties, or any other occasion where you need to capture your audience's attention! Rated advanced-intermediate for some tricky rhythms and a few higher notes in the violin parts; the viola and cello parts are more of an intermediate level. This will be playable for students and sightreadable for professionals.
