By Queen. By Freddie Mercury. Arranged by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee. Broadway,Contemporary,Film/TV,Musical/Show,Pop,Rock. 27 pages. Sarah Cellobat Chaffee #706367. Published by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee (A0.1103038).If you're living on Planet Earth, it's impossible not to know the masterpiece that is Bohemian Rhapsody! Written by Freddie Mercury as a six-minute "rock opera," this 1975 anthem ended up becoming not only Queen's most beloved track, but it has been widely considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time. One of the few progressive rock songs to ever achieve mainstream success, it has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, appeared in numerous movies and TV shows including the feature film "Wayne's World," and to this day it inspires audiences around the world to enthusiastically sing along. So you can't go wrong having this one in your gig books!
There are many string quartet arrangements of this song that don't do it justice, so this Cellobat arrangement is here to save the day! Although this song is full of tempo changes, time signatures, and accidentals, this chart was specifically engineered to be as readable as possible, with parts that are written to make the most musical sense and help your group stay together. But that's not to say it's dumbed-down -- this is a beautiful, harmonically lush, and fun-to-play chart that will sound amazing and inspire your audience to sing along! Rated advanced just for the nature of the song; it's always a good idea to look over this one and practice the tempo changes together before performing. But most importantly...be sure to have fun! :)
