Product Description

This instrumental setting of Ben Folds's heartfelt ballad, "The Luckiest" will make an excellent addition to your quartet's gig book. If your client requests to hear this song as they walk down the aisle, as opposed to the usual Bridal Chorus, Wedding March, Canon in D, or *shudder* Don't Stop Believing, reward them for their excellent taste in contemporary love songs by serenading them with an arrangement that truly shines!

I've done my best to pay homage to Ben's original piano part by spreading some of the arpeggios between the violin & viola to create a sort of "cascading pizzicato." The good news is you can perform this completely on your own as a quartet, no need to hire a pianist to accompany you. The less good news is you probably won't want to try sight-reading this unless you really trust that your internal rhythmic compasses are completely in sync, but with a very small amount of rehearsal a professional ensemble should have no problem tackling this chart, and I promise it will be really pretty! Your audiences will be fighting back tears almost as hard as they fought you on the price to book your ensemble for the gig ;-)

This sentimental serenade will surely be a hit in settings such as... 
-Weddings
-Wedding showers
-Wedding conventions
-Wedding advertisement videos
-Funerals
-Chamber music shows
-Coffee shops
-Retirement parties
-Yoga studios
-Meditation sessions
-Did I mention weddings? (...yes, I wrote this chart for a wedding gig)

Performance time - approximately 4:30 for the full chart, but can be tailored to your gig's needs by skipping a verse or chorus. Each section is labeled on the chart in case of such a requirement.
