Product Description
S&M - Rihanna
Arranged by Nat Brookes for String Quartet
Pop Pad
This is a total bop! A great song, playfully arranged for string quartet. Great for ensembles with attitude. Originally in Em, I have thoughtfully written the parts so that it can easily be played up one semitone in Em. Theres a lovely section featuring some jeté bowing in the second violin later on which could easily be simplified for less experienced players.
This catchy, uptempo, Hi-NRG dance-pop anthem featured in the highly successful first Pitch Perfect film, with Ester Dean (who wrote it) nailing that iconic intro. S&M peaked at number one in ten countries in addition to the United States while peaking within the top five in the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Ireland. As one of Rihannas most memorable songs, its sure to be recognised by many.
