Halo, a powerful love ballad with strong spiritual vibes, was released by Beyoncé as a single in 2009 to great acclaim. With a music video depicting a behind-the-scenes look at the singer's everyday life, and lyrics describing the strength that comes from being vulnerable with those who you love, the song was a breath of fresh air on the pop scene. Combined with Beyoncé's massive vocal range and impressive stylistic effects, Halo was a tour de force that resonated with people around the world -- and it soon shot to the top of the charts! After winning several music awards including a Grammy, and earning multiplatinum certification in many countries around the world, it's clear that this song has a place in people's hearts, and it's still a very popular choice for weddings and events to this day. So you definitely can't go wrong adding this to your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet maintains the soaring vocal lines, lush harmonies, and powerful beat of the original for a chart that's sure to get your audience singing along! Rated advanced-intermediate for some tricky rhythms throughout and some higher notes in the violin parts (up to 4th position); this will be learnable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals.
