Perfect for our quartet! Really nice harmonies and fits together well. We would buy more of these if available.

Elvis Presley Love Songs for String Quartet
Be sure to look closely at the back page of this arrangement of Can't Help Falling in Love. (This tune is not in the audio clip.) It is, according to the arranger, based partly on an upbeat interpretation by Lick the Tins, which appeared in John Hughes' 1987 film Some Kind of Wonderful. It has a bouncy, nervous quality to it, that could be fun to play at party or cocktail hour. But if the Bride is looking for the slow and swingy Elvis Blue Hawaii version, this is not the arrangement for you! The graceful arrangement of Love Me Tender is the well known tune in a more traditional 4 part harmony.

Elvis songs sound great played by quartets
The Performance Notes are very helpful. Everyone is so surprised to hear a quartet play Elvis songs. These are good arrangements as they allow everyone a chance to play the melody. It is also good training for musicians to learn to back off when someone else has the melody. The opening measures are important for the rhythm and a little confusing to get the feel of the music until the group plays the entire pieces a few times.
