A beautiful and elegant arrangement of Matt Redman's contemporary Christian worship song 10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord). This arrangement is for a string duet - one violin and one cello. The violinist plays the melody for the majority of the song, while the cellist performs the accompaniment and outlines the chord progression. As a sort of bridge, the two parts swap places, and the cellist has the chance to shine performing the melody. This emotional and solemn tribute to God is perfect for wedding ceremonies or any sort of religious event.

This PDF also includes the sheet music for the individual parts. (Combined score, Violin part, and Cello part).
This arrangement is appropriate for schools and students. Arrangement duration: 5:08.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondering in the night, what were the chances?
We'd be sharing love before the night was through

[Verse 2]
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you

[Chorus]
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello, little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away and

[Verse 3]
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

[Bridge]
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

[Verse 3]
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night
 
[Outro]
Dooby-doooby-doo
Doob-dooob-doob-dee-daa
Daaa-daaa-daaa-daaa-daaa.

This is a late beginner or early intermediate LARGE PRINT piano arrangement of Welcome To The Black Parade by the band, My Chemical Romance.  It has been abridged and simplified for an instrumental piano solo.  Trish Boril's son requested a minimalistic piano solo cover of this song for his wedding processional.  It features larger notes and wider staff spacing for easier note reading, and to assist low vision musicians.  It can easily be shortened, or looped if a longer version is desired.  It begins in the key of C, then modulates to the key of A near the ending, but it could be ended while in the key of C, if desired.  There is also a piano tutorial for this song on the Large Print Sheet Music YouTube channel.

My Chemical Romance's lively up-tempo is full of angst and a great performance piece for mixed voices in six parts. In this arrangement, the opening verse is serene, perhaps lulling the audience into a false sense of security, before livening up in the middle verse, and opening up to the full rock version in the last (via an imitation string quartet waltz in the bridge). The expletive in the final chorus can be replaced with the radio edit lyrics, but I prefer to keep to the original where possible and appropriate!

An arrangement of The End Of The World,  a song covered by many famous artists. includingThe Carpenters; thanks to the phenomenal singing of Karen Carpenter.  The End of the World was written by composer Arthur Kent and lyricist Sylvia Dee, who often worked as a team.

The Carpenters (officially known as Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo consisting of siblings Karen (1950–1983) and Richard Carpenter (born 1946). They produced a distinctive soft musical style, combining Karen's contralto vocals with Richard's harmonizing, arranging, and composition skills. During their 14-year career, the Carpenters recorded 10 albums along with many singles and several television specials. 


Karen possessed a powerful singing voice, and close miking brought out many nuances in her performances.  Richard arranged their music to take advantage of this, though Karen had a three-octave vocal range.  Richard's work with Karen was influenced by the music of Les Paul, whose overdubbing of the voice of wife and musical partner Mary Ford allowed her to be used as both the lead and harmony vocals.[6] By multi-tracking, Richard was able to use Karen and himself for the harmonies to back Karen's lead. The overdubbed background harmonies were distinctive to the Carpenters, but it was the soulful, engaging sound of Karen's lead voice that made them so recognizable.  Record executive Mike Curb said it was Karen's voice that took the Carpenters above straight pop music into pop rock.   She was known as a one take wonder and could deliver a strong performance on the first attempt.

Richard Carpenter was the creative force behind the Carpenters' sound. An accomplished keyboard player, composer and arranger, music critic Daniel Levitin called him one of the most gifted arrangers to emerge in popular music.  The duo's smooth harmonies were not in step with contemporary music, which was dominated by heavy rock.  Instead, the Carpenters strove for a rich and melodic sound, along the same vein as the Beach Boys and the Mamas & the Papas, but with greater fullness and orchestration including frequent use of small string and horn sections and introspective lyrics centred around relationships.  Richard also admired the musicianship and arranging skills of Frank Zappa, and the two briefly met backstage at the Billboard Forum in 1975.

End Of The World: Lyrics:

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
'Cause you don't love me any more

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love

[Bridge]
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you

Strangers In The Night is here arranged as performed by famous piano artist, Liberace.  He played this in concerts around the world and on his piano albums.  This piano solo arrangement has all of the sparkle and fiery improvisations that made Liberace famous.  Now for the first time, here is the sheet music as played by Liberace.

On a personal note:  I saw Liberace perform this live at a concert in Chicago, when I was a very, very young piano student.  My parents were both Liberace fans and took me to one of his concerts.  The memory stayed with me for a lifetime!

Lyrics:
