Released in 1968 on the Beatles' White Album, Blackbird was originally written, conceptualized, and recorded by Paul McCartney, with a guitar accompaniment inspired by the works of Bach and lyrics inspired by the civil rights movement of the 60's. The juxtaposition of the song's peaceful feel with its powerful message soon captured the hearts of people around the world, and it has remained immensely popular ever since -- it's even become the eighth-most-recorded song of all time! So you definitely can't go wrong adding this one to your gig books. This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet brings the original to life with soaring melodies, intriguing harmonies, and a gentle groove -- you're sure to get your audience singing along! Originally written for a wedding ceremony, this will also be perfect for receptions, cocktail hour, parties, solo & ensemble contest, or any other occasion you need to pull at your audience's heartstrings. Rated advanced-intermediate for some tricky rhythms and accidentals throughout; this will be learnable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals.
