This lush string quartet arrangement of At Late made famous by Etta James (with music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Mack Gordon) utilizes the wonderful colors inherent to this most classic of instrumentation. This arrangement will be perfect for any formal event due to its immense familiarity in pop culture, but works especially well for weddings. As with all my arrangements the parts are written to be playable for intermediate players but still enjoyable and worthwhile for even the most advanced performers. My works are edited thoroughly, including cohesive bowings.

‘At Last’ was composed by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical ‘Sun Valley Serenade’ in 1941. It was recorded by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, becoming a chart hit in 1942, and in 1960 by Etta James, who was subsequently inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The song is a frequent wedding favourite for quartets.

I also have a version for string quartet without a vocalist listed on this site, which is very similar, but entails more double stopping for the players. I am also planning to do several arrangements of this wonderful classic, including a version with a simplified first violin part.

This version is for a professional quartet, as the opening is tricky for the first violin. However, most of the double stopping includes open strings for one of the notes. This is a great opportunity for the singer to try her improvisational skills, so I have taken the vocal line from the original, with a few tweaks here and there. This is not set in stone however, and our recording shows my daughter embellishing the vocal line. Nevertheless, the quartet parts are almost identical to the score I am uploading.

As I am classically trained, it was quite difficult, at first, for me to stick to the beat and not to try to follow the singer when accompanying on the piano!  It’s important to remember to keep the quartet in rock solid time so that she can feel free to pull the lines away from the main pulse sometimes. Little slides up to notes suit the style well too.

Look out for the upcoming simpler version if this one feels a bit daunting and exposed!

Have fun and post me any recordings. I can be found on Facebook very easily.
