Released as the lead single from Dr. Dre's multi-platinum second studio album, Still D.R.E. was a massive hit that helped put the rapper at the forefront of the hip-hop scene. After going seven years without releasing an album, Dre wanted to make a statement, announcing to the world that he was back and better than ever -- and it's safe to say that his statement was a success! The song received widespread critical and audience acclaim, and it has been featured in multiple movies, TV shows, and video games; and with the recent resurgence of 90's nostalgia, it's been more of a popular request than ever. So make sure to add this one to your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your violin/viola/cello trio features the driving beat, classic hooks, and musically notated rap lines of the original for a chart that's sure to get your audience dancing! This was originally written for a wedding, but it will also be perfect for cocktail hour, receptions, parties, events, and more. Rated intermediate; this will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.

Although hair metal band Mötley Crüe is best known for their rock anthems about girls and motorcycles, a standout moment of their discography is the (slightly) more sentimental power ballad Home Sweet Home. Released in 1985, the song opens with a catchy piano line and lyrics describing the singer's desire to come home and make things right with his significant other. Even though the epic guitar solo later in the song preserves the band's signature hard rock feel, this is still a popular request to this day for weddings and events, and you'll definitely have fun playing this Cellobat version for solo cello! Originally written for a wedding ceremony, this chart maintains the lyrical verses, hard-hitting choruses, and even the guitar solo of the original (although it is somewhat truncated, since the original solo is almost a full minute long!). Rated advanced-intermediate for some tenor clef and higher notes (not quite up to thumb position, but as high as 6th); this will be playable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals.

It went on to become the band's first #1 US and UK single, and it won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 2009; with its catchy string hook and upbeat melody, it's no wonder that this song is now a ubiquitous request!
