*INSTRUMENTATION: 2 VIOLINS & CELLO*
Written for Rihanna's eighth studio album Anti and inspired by 50's and 60's doo-wop soul music, Love On The Brain is a powerful 6/8 ballad depicting the powerful pull of a stormy relationship. This huge hit became Rihanna's 22nd single in the Billboard top 5, showcasing her vocal versatility and earning her comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Mariah Carey. In this beautiful arrangement for two-violin and cello trio, the first violin part is the virtuosic vocal line, with a part spanning several octaves and including many of Rihanna's tricky, almost-improvised, off-the-cuff rhythms. Commissioned for a wedding reception, this arrangement stays true to the soulful feel and dynamic intensity of the original song and is just as much fun to play as it is to listen to! The 2nd violin and cello parts of this chart are more of an early-intermediate level, but I'm rating it as advanced for all the unconventional rhythms in the 1st violin part - this will be sightreadable for professionals, but V1 might want to take a look at it first. :)
