Product Description
INSTRUMENTATION: 2 VIOLINS & CELLO
Loosely based on the Puccini opera La Boheme, the musical Rent was written and debuted in the mid-90's and has remained a cultural staple ever since. Following the story of a group of struggling artists working to survive in New York City, it became one of the longest-running shows on Broadway and garnered many awards and accolades, and it was even turned into a highly successful movie in 2005. So it's no wonder the music of Rent is still popular for weddings and events! This two-violin and cello trio arrangement of "I'll Cover You," one of the production's most successful songs, maintains the catchy melodies, unusual and intriguing harmonies, and driving hemiola feel of the original; it will definitely be as much fun to play as it is to listen to! Rated advanced-intermediate for a few tricky rhythms and accidentals & some higher notes in the violin parts (up to 4th position), this will be learnable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals.
