Product Description
Originally written in 1942 for the musical film Sun Valley Serenade, "At Last" was recorded several times by various artists before it ended up in the hands of Etta James. Her recording soon became the landmark version of the song, and perhaps her best-known signature song; it was even inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999! Now a popular request for weddings and receptions, this song is definitely a must-have in your gig books. I was asked to write this string quartet arrangement by a friend who was frustrated that many other versions sounded bad or were difficult to sightread -- so if that's also been your experience, this is the chart for you! Maintaining the soaring melodies, lush harmonies, and gentle swinging beat of the original while emphasizing sightreadability, this will be perfect for weddings, receptions, proposals, cocktail hour, parties, and more. Rated advanced-intermediate; this will be learnable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals.
