Chandelier was released in 2014 as the lead single from Australian singer-songwriter Sia's album 1000 Forms of Fear. Although the lyrics are melancholy and introspective in nature, describing the downward spiral of a party girl struggling with alcoholism and excess, its catchy hooks and soaring melodies soon captured the hearts (and karaoke playlists) of people around the world! The song received widespread critical acclaim and shot to the top of the charts in 20 countries; it received four Grammy nominations that year and was named by Billboard as the best song of 2014. So you really can't go wrong adding this one to your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet was originally written for a wow moment involving a massive LED chandelier at a corporate event in Las Vegas, and it truly brings the anthem to life with beautiful layered harmonies, dramatic dynamic variation, and of course the signature virtuosic chorus melodies of the original. You'll definitely get your audience singing along! Rated intermediate; this will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.

Drake released his album Certified Lover Boy in September of 2021, and as he had done several times on previous albums, he included a musical interlude featuring a guest artist. On this album, the interlude was the song Yebba's Heartbreak (sung by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Yebba), which soon became a fan favorite despite the fact that Drake does not appear at all on the track. Written as an ode to the singer's late mother, who suffered from depression, the song is a haunting tribute that remains in the minds and hearts of everyone who listens to it. This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet maintains the pensive atmosphere, unconventional harmonies, ephemeral melodies, and unexpected chord changes of the original for a chart that will definitely give your audience chills -- and don't worry, it has been transposed to the string-friendly key of A minor (from its original key of G# minor)! Rated intermediate; there isn't anything too difficult in this chart, just make sure to pay attention to the accidentals! This will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.
