Product Description
Melt your heart away with the much loved and covered jazz standard arranged for string quartet. A perfect romantic must for weddings and events.
A level of jazz knowledge is necessary for the solo section, where it is recommended to include soloist, chords, chops (rhythmic accompaniment), and a bass line in the cello. Please listen and transcribe to versions of this tune for an idea of what to play. Alternatively you may skip to letter F. Enjoy!
Julia Dos Reis is a freelance violist, composer/arranger, and teacher based in London, UK. She has performed with her own groups, as well as one off projects, in venues across the UK and Europe, including Ronnie Scotts, Royal Festival Hall, Paris Grande Halle de La Villette. Julia has a Masters in Jazz Performance from Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where she studied under jazz violinist, Chris Garrick.
Her arrangements offer fun takes on pop/jazz classics, keeping the essence of the original. Features of the arrangements include the inclusion of extended and percussive techniques such as chopping, moments of improvisation, melodic lines passed around all players, and solid grooves. Such features are flexible and can be adapted to suit players skills.
The arrangements are all truly tried and tested, as she performs the arrangements regularly at weddings and events with her quartet, Soli Strings. Please listen here: https://www.youtube.com/@solistringsmusic
