An early classic hit from the classic band The Beach Boys is a great selection for any of your lighter performances. Played in the key of Bb with ‘cello playing harmony to the violin melody, unison melody and even the melody in the viola. Listen carefully how the ‘vocal parts’ are put together with everyone else. A neat adaptation of the orchestra sections playing ‘vocal parts.’ Bass plays both arco and pizzicato. I suggest a Grade 2+/3 only because of the key and how the parts are independently put together. Add a drumset (no part) and really get your audience rockin’ in the aisles!
