String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1459496 By Elvis Presley. By George David Weiss, Hugo Peretti, and Luigi Creatore. Arranged by Homco/Crinion. Standards,Wedding. 5 pages. Homco/Crinion #1038448. Published by Homco/Crinion (A0.1459496). Elvis Presley recorded this hit song in 1961 for his album Blue Hawaii - but it is actually based on an old French love song. That is why the appeal is so wide, and one of the reasons why this is the most popular song to this day for weddings! This String Quartet arrangement is both stripped-down and harmonically lush at the same time. The simple melody shines whenever it is stated - no matter by which instrument. Viola players will be happy to know that the viola doubles (in octaves) the melody in two separate instances: once with the 1st Violin and once with the 2nd. The ending is a very fitting, regal, march-like finish to a majestic walk down the aisle.
