Product Description
"Isn't She Lovely" was released by Stevie Wonder in 1976; the joyful, catchy song was written to celebrate the birth of his daughter Aisha. Originally released as a 6 1/2 minute album version, the song was eventually shortened to a 3 1/2 minute single, and this version caught on like wildfire, becoming a chart-topping hit and eventually a jazz and pop standard known all around the world! And these days it's a very popular request for weddings, so you can't go wrong having this one in your gig books. Although the song is fairly repetitive in nature, this Cellobat arrangement for violin and cello duet is never boring -- with a number of variations and a fun swinging groove, everyone is sure to have fun with this one! Originally written for a wedding ceremony, this will also be perfect for receptions, cocktail hour, parties, solo & ensemble contest, or any other occasion you need to bring a smile to your audience's faces. Rated intermediate; this will be playable for students and sightreadable for professionals (the violin part goes up to 3rd position).
