My Heart Will Go On is the theme song from the 1997 film Titanic. It was initially composed by James Horner as an instrumental motif for the film soundtrack before lyrics were added by lyricist Will Jennings and before Celine Dion was enlisted to record vocals that would become her signature song. This String Trio arrangement begins with cello on the melody line. The cello passes it on to the 2nd violin, who then passes it to the 1st violin. Each statement of the theme is hauntingly beautiful, no matter what octave it is being played in. After the music reaches a climax in the middle, the simple opening theme comes back softer - and softer yet again - until it fades away, accompanied by ethereal harmonics in the cello part.

Because You Loved Me was recorded by Celine Dion in 1996 and was the theme song for the film Up Close & Personal. It is a big ballad and critics have called it an emotional roller coaster. (Sounds like the perfect song to be covered by a String Trio!) In this arrangement, the melody opens in the 1st Violin part, then wanders briefly to the Cello, but finishes up in the 2nd Violin. Likewise, the song's lyrics sing of strength, love and support - and a gratitude for someone who is always there for us.

Then You Look at Me is a song from the film soundtrack of 1999's Bicentennial Man recorded by Celine Dion. It's a powerful ballad about the power of the human connection and the profound impact of love. When we are open to vulnerability, it is then that we realize that joy and sorrow both are components of our journey. In this String Trio arrangement, both violins have a share of the melody line.

At Last is a song from the Big Band Era of the 1940's and was recorded several times by Glenn Miller and his orchestra. It wasn't until 1960 that Etta James put her signature Rhythm & Blues touch on it. Many other artists have put their spin on the tune over the years including Celine Dion and Beyonce. It has become a popular standard at weddings, probably because the lyric sings: my lonely days are over, and life is like a song!.
