Product Description
Released as the lead single from Enya's second album in 1988, "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)" brought the Irish singer-songwriter huge commercial success, staying at the top of the UK charts for three weeks in a row and garnering two Grammy nominations. The song is now one of the most recognizable classics of that time period and of New Age music in general, so whenever you play this at your gigs, you're sure to get your audience singing along! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet maintains the peppy synth-string hooks, the beautiful layered harmonies, the ethereal stormy vibe of the prechoruses, and the catchy melodic lines of the original, for a chart that's just as much fun to play as it is to listen to. Rated intermediate; this will be playable for students and sightreadable for professionals (especially if played a little bit under tempo).
