Product Description
"Kissing You," originally written for a scene in Baz Luhrmann's feature film Romeo + Juliet where the title characters meet each other at a ball, was released both on the film's soundtrack and on the third studio album of its singer Des'Ree. This beautiful pared-down ballad earned Des'Ree critical acclaim, with many praising the emotional depth the song brought to the movie, and it has since become a fan favorite and a very popular choice for weddings. This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet captures the beauty of the original, with layers of lush harmonies, a full range of dynamic intensity, the passionate melodic vocal line in the first violin, and the ethereal piano line in violin 2. Perfect for wedding ceremonies, receptions, proposals, vow renewals, solo & ensemble contests or any other occasion when your quartet wants to give your audience chills! Rated advanced-intermediate; most of this chart remains in first position and is fairly simple to play, but there are some interesting rhythms to take a look at.
