Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls String Quartet - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1502882

Originally written by the Goo Goo Dolls for the soundtrack of the 1998 feature film City Of Angels, "Iris" is a song of mysterious origin -- there are no characters named Iris in the movie, and the word itself is never spoken in the lyrics. But the immense popularity of this song is no mystery! After its release as a single, the song reached number 1 in multiple countries and became one of the bestselling singles of all time; it's now considered the band's signature song, and they still perform it in all of their live shows to this day. So you really can't go wrong adding this one to your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for your string quartet showcases the soaring melodies, hard-hitting rock riffs, and dynamic passion of the original for a chart that will be just as much fun to play as it is to listen to -- especially since, despite its time signature changes and interesting rhythmic variations, this version has been specifically written to be as sightreadable as possible! Rated intermediate; this will be learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals.
