Product Description
Special Thanks to Mana Music LLC for their recording of this arrangement! http://www.manamusichawaii.com
Many people aren't aware that the song "Feeling Good" was originally written for a musical called The Roar of the Greasepaint The Smell of the Crowd in 1964, but it's safe to say that Nina Simone's 1965 recording has become a hit known around the world! Simone's soulful voice, quasi-improvisational delivery, and impressive range made her version iconic, and it has been used in a number of commercials, samples, movies, and remixes ever since. "Feeling Good" has also been covered by countless other artists, and it has truly cemented its place in the pop culture zeitgeist -- so you really can't go wrong adding this one to your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet features the soaring vocal lines, powerful instrumental interludes, and even the rubato solo introduction of the original for a chart that's sure to capture your audience's attention. Originally written for a wedding ceremony, this will also be perfect for receptions, cocktail hour, parties, solo & ensemble contest, and more! Rated intermediate; this will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.
