Product Description
This professional, high-quality bass sheet music is a simplified transcription and arrangement for 4-string bass guitar in standard E tuning (E-A-D-G) of the world-famous ballad A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, originally released as part of the official soundtrack for the global cinematic phenomenon The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011). Thoughtfully arranged for beginner to intermediate players, this bass version retains the emotional depth and cinematic atmosphere that made the original recording a timeless classic of modern pop music and film soundtracks.
Presented in the key of A Major / F# Minor, the tonal structure of this arrangement mirrors the original studio version used in the official motion picture soundtrack, offering a faithful and expressive interpretation of the harmony and melodic phrasing. Every note has been transcribed with care to balance playability with musical authenticity, making it suitable not only for individual practice and enjoyment, but also for live performances, student recitals, music lessons, cover band arrangements, and professional studio work.
The piece features clear rhythmic notation, simplified note choices, and intuitive finger positioning that help learners and performers develop technique while experiencing the beauty of a deeply emotional and lyrically poignant love song. This arrangement is ideal for bassists who want to expand their repertoire with iconic modern pop music that remains relevant and widely loved across generations.
A Thousand Years has become one of the most performed and streamed love songs of the 21st century, frequently featured in weddings, romantic events, Valentines Day performances, and film tribute shows. Its rich harmonic progressions, combined with lyrical softness, make it a must-have for any modern pop repertoire.
This bass sheet is fully notated and formatted to a professional publishing standard, ensuring clarity, readability, and ease of use for both self-taught musicians and those working under an instructor. The transcription includes detailed measures that follow the original song structure, including verse, chorus, bridge, and outro. It is perfect for musicians who want a version that is faithful yet approachable, allowing them to focus on expressiveness and tone without being overwhelmed by complexity
