Product Description

More than a Feeling, written by Tom Scholz and performed by Boston on their eponymous debut album, hit the charts in September 1976.

Maybe it didnt reach number one but Boston (the album), went 17 times platinum in the USA. This song, More than a Feeling, didnt reach the top of the charts either but soon became an All-Time Classic Rock Song of all time.

And whats an All-Time Classic Rock Song of all time without an iconic guitar solo? This track will leave that question unanswered, since its solo has been one of the most irresistible to air-guitarists for nearly 50 years; perhaps even before air guitar was officially a thing.

Among the obligatory soaring lines are less commonly-found influences reflecting Tom Scholzs deep love of Classical music, such as mordents and inverted mordents first documented in the Baroque era.

The viola has that solo in this arrangement, perfectly suited to its range This is a chance for the mother of the violin family to rock out! Make air-viola a thing!

In the chorus section, pay attention to the loud rests giving impulse.

This arrangement for string quartet is a relatively straight-forward idiomatic transcription in the same tonalities as the original recording, so you could even play along with it for fun.

The level is intermediate; quickly rehearsed by professional quartets and an accessible challenge for experienced students.
