Product Description
Inspired by a post-apocalyptic novel but with lyrics about a summer fling, the Harry Styles song "Watermelon Sugar" was released in May 2020 to immediate popular acclaim. With its refreshing funk-pop feel and carefree guitar and horn riffs, the song was a breath of fresh air to fans around the world, and it soon became Styles' first-ever number one single on the Billboard charts. And its catchy chorus remains stuck in the heads of audiences to this day! This Cellobat arrangement for string quartet maintains the laid-back vibes, funky groove, and lush layered harmonies of the original for a chart that will make it feel like summer any time of the year. Originally written for a wedding ceremony, this will also be perfect for receptions, cocktail hour, parties, or any other occasion that you need to bring your audience some joy. Rated intermediate; this will be playable for students and sightreadable for professionals.
