Product Description
Although "Kiss Me" is one of Ed Sheeran's earliest releases, it still makes a big impact to this day! Released in 2011 as a track on the singer/songwriter's debut studio album, the song is an acoustic slow-build pop ballad with a beautiful emotional arc. The lyrics, centered around two friends who end up falling in love, are based on the true story of Sheeran's godparents; and with tender lines like "Settle down with me and I'll be your safety," it's no wonder that this song is a still a perennial request for weddings! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet maintains the dynamic passion, beautiful harmonies, and gentle rhythmic drive of the original, for a chart that's sure to make your audience fall in love too. Originally written for a wedding ceremony, this will also be perfect for receptions, cocktail hour, proposals, parties, and more! Rated advanced-intermediate mainly for a few interesting stream-of-consciousness rhythms throughout; this will be learnable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals.
