Product Description
"Don't Stop Believin'" is truly a song that needs no introduction! Widely recognized as one of the best rock anthems of all time, this song became everyone's favorite upon its release in 1983, when its instantly recognizable synth intro and catchy sing-along choruses helped it hit the top 10 on the Billboard charts. It soon went on to become the best-selling digital track of the 20th century and was named one of Rolling Stone's Greatest Songs Of All Time -- so you really can't go wrong having this one in your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet was originally written for a wedding reception, and with its powerful driving beat, catchy hooks, and soaring melodies, you're sure to get everyone singing along! I have played this song hundreds of times in my career, so I wanted to make my arrangement different -- I got tired of all the extensions and intonation issues in the song's original key of EM, so this version is actually transposed down to CM. My friends have loved playing this chart and prefer it over the usual ones, so I hope you do too! :) Rated intermediate; this will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.
