Product Description
*INSTRUMENTATION: 2 VIOLINS & CELLO*
Loosely based on the Puccini opera La Boheme, the musical Rent was written and debuted in the mid-90's and has remained a cultural staple ever since. Following the story of a group of struggling artists working to survive in New York City, it became one of the longest-running shows on Broadway and garnered many awards and accolades, and it was even turned into a highly successful movie in 2005. So it's no wonder the music of Rent is still popular for weddings and events! This two-violin and cello arrangement of "I'll Cover You," one of the production's most successful songs, maintains the catchy melodies, unusual and intriguing harmonies, and driving hemiola feel of the original; it will definitely be as much fun to play as it is to listen to! Rated advanced-intermediate for a few tricky rhythms and accidentals & some higher notes in the violin parts (up to 4th position), this will be learnable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals.
