This was initially arranged for an all-male choir with guitar instrumentation for a wedding of my friend but the idea has been budding already for quite some time. And at the same time that I was doing it, I was also reviewing some music theory concepts which I applied it this arrangement. 

Arranged for TBB (or TTB) but I will do an arrangement in a few months for TTBB and SATB.

I'll Be There is the first single released from the Third Album by The Jackson 5. It was written by Berry Gordy, Hal Davis, Bob West, and Willie Hutch.

The song was recorded by The Jackson 5 and released by Motown Records on August 28, 1970. Produced by the songwriters, I'll Be There was The Jackson 5's fourth number-one hit in a row (after I Want You Back in 1969, ABC and The Love You Save earlier in 1970), making them the first group to have their first four singles reach number one and the first black male group with four consecutive number-one pop hits. I'll Be There is also notable as the most successful single released by Motown during its Detroit era (1959–72). In 2011, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Thanks, John.  This is a rare song with a subtitle that appears just once in the verse section of the lyrics. The opening line, I got your letter from the postman just the other day proved to be a powerful phrase for this song about a man trying desperately to hold on to his girl. The song became better known as The Postman Song instead of the more common title Because I Love You. This arrangement is in a key that works better instrumentally.

In this Level 2.5 - 3.0 (Intermediate) arrangement, Martin Lass has arranged the hit song, What Else Can I Do?, for solo cello and piano accompaniment. Guitar chords and chord boxes are included. What Else Can I Do? is a song from Disney's 2021 animated feature film, Encanto, with music and lyrics written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It was released by Walt Disney Records as part of the film's soundtrack in November, 2021. The soundtrack has achieved many accolades and charted No. 1 or Top Ten across the world, including No. 1 on US Billboard Hot 100. Wikipedia notes that, to develop the soundtrack, the composer, Miranda, and team visited Colombia—the setting of Encanto—to study the country's music. Consequentially, the album is rooted in genres such as vallenato, cumbia, bambuco and rock en español, making use of the traditional music instruments of Colombia, and incorporates salsa, tango, reggaeton and bachata styles alongside pop, hip hop, folk and musical theatre elements. In the film, the songs are performed by the Madrigals, who are a multigenerational family with magical powers granted to them by a miracle; the lyrical themes revolve around individuality, self-worth, transgenerational trauma and familial love. This arrangement has been specifically tailored for intermediate-level cello while retaining all of the original elements of the song, as well as some original interpretative elements. The lead line combines some of the different voices in the original song. The key has been changed from the original A minor/C major to the more violin-friendly F minor/Ab major, which changes the modulation halfway through the song from the very challenging Bb minor/Db major to the more friendly F# minor/A major.
