Released as a single in 1978 by Earth, Wind & Fire, September immediately became a huge commercial success; it reached Number 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B Chart, became one of the band's signature songs, and was even added to the Library of Congress' list of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important for America. So you can't go wrong adding this one to your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for solo violin brings to life the soaring melodies, soulful jazzy harmonies, and rhythmic grooves of the original for a chart that's definitely as fun to play as it is to listen to -- you're sure to get your audience singing along! Rated advanced intermediate, mainly for some complex rhythms throughout and some higher notes (up to 3rd position).
