Product Description
Written in 2014 amidst a flurry of media scrutiny about her love life, Taylor Swift's hit song "Blank Space" is a satirical ode to the unattached woman, with lyrics portraying herself as flirtatious, crazy, and unable to commit. The fun and catchy electropop song quickly caught on with critics and audiences alike, who loved its songwriting and production; it went on to receive 8x platinum certification, three Grammy nominations, and recognition as one of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time. So "don't say I didn't warn you" that this would be a great addition to your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet maintains the ethereal vibes, beautiful layered harmonies, and sing-along-able melodies of the original for a chart you and your audience are sure to love. Rated advanced-intermediate for a few tricky rhythms throughout; this will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.
