By Avant Featuring Ketara Wyatt. By Angela Winbush and Rene Moore. Arranged by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee. Contemporary,Hip-Hop,Pop,R & B,Wedding. 17 pages. Sarah Cellobat Chaffee #793204. Published by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee (A0.1193731).
Originally recorded by R&B duo Rene and Angela in 1983, My First Love was later re-recorded to great acclaim in 2000 by Avant and Keke Wyatt. This smooth, refined, and beautifully performed recording ended up reaching the top 5 on the R&B charts, and it still remains one of the most popular songs in the New Jack Swing genre to this day! Originally written for a wedding ceremony, this Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet brings together the lush jazz harmonies, soaring vocalizations, and most of all, the romantic laid-back vibe of the original for a chart that your audience will want to slow-dance to. Rated advanced-intermediate; there are some tricky rhythms and a handful of high notes to look at, but this will be sightreadable for professionals and learnable for students.
