Special thanks to Sienna String Quartet for their amazing recording of this arrangement!
Beyoncé's surprise release of her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, took the world by storm -- and as one of the album's lead singles, Texas Hold 'Em became an overnight sensation! With its powerful vocal performance, authentic sound, and homage to fellow Black artists in country music, the song quickly topped the Billboard charts in America and around the world...but not only that, it also topped the Hot Country Songs chart, giving Beyoncé the first-ever number one country song by a Black woman! So it goes without saying that this barrier-breaking song would be a popular addition to your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet maintains the soaring melodies, lush layers of vocal harmonies, and laid-back country groove of the original for a chart you and your audience are sure to love. Rated advanced-intermediate for some tricky syncopated rhythms throughout; this will be learnable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals.
