Product Description
Released as a single by Coldplay in 2012, "Charlie Brown" was intended as one of the centerpiece songs for the band's new album Mylo Xyloto, and it soon became one of their biggest fan-favorite songs to date. Despite its somewhat incongruous title -- the lyrics originally included a reference to the famous Peanuts character, but he was later taken out -- the song soon achieved audience success and critical acclaim, with some even calling it "one of the best things Coldplay have ever done." Originally written for a wedding, this Cellobat arrangement for violin and cello duet is an upbeat and joyous take on the original, with a positive energy that's sure to get your audience dancing. This will be perfect for weddings, receptions, parties, cocktail hour, solo & ensemble contest, and more! Rated advanced-intermediate mainly for some tricky rhythms -- the syncopated, time-signature-changing main riff is a little bizarre and you might want to check that out before performing, but this will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.
