Sweet Baby James by James Taylor, a folk-country tune arranged for string quartet.
Violin 1 plays the tune throughout, and the cello part is a basic bass line, so it can be used as a really simple duet. It works okay as a trio as well though it will definitely lack some key harmonies - may sound a little better using the Violin 2 part rather than Viola.
My string arrangements are faithful to the original song, with ample rehearsal letters, minimal bowings, and only minor adjustments to pop melodies to facilitate playing and sightreading. Parts are error-free, tested and enjoyed by professional musicians at weddings and private events.
