Product Description
"(I've Had) The Time Of My Life" was written in 1987 and recorded by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes as the theme song for the feature film Dirty Dancing. An immediate commercial success, the song went on to win not only an Academy Award, but also a Golden Globe and a Grammy! This catchy song has been ubiquitous at parties and events ever since, so you can't go wrong having this one 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 for some tricky rhythms 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.
