I Put a Spell on You was originally a "refined love song" written by Jalacy "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins . In 1956, he recorded the notorious version upon which this arrangement is based. Notorious because he didn't even remember recording it and the single was banned from many radio stations.
I Put a Spell on You didn't even make the charts but still sold more than a million copies and is considered one of the greatest Rock and Roll tracks of all time.
"It all sort of just fell in place. I found out I could do more destroying a song and screaming it to death".
This arrangement for string quartet is a relatively straight-forward idiomatic transcription in the same tonality as the original recording, so you could even play along with it for fun.
In this case, since standard notation has certain limitations, it is recommended that the 1st violin and viola players listen to the original track to find out how their notes were performed and work out their own interpretations.
Strillato means ranting-ly, screamingly, but a mere word is not enough.
The level is on the easier side of "advanced"; quickly rehearsed by professional quartets and an accessible challenge for experienced students.
Waaa-aa-o-oo!
