Скачать или смотреть How Long Will I Love You for String Quartet arr. Krista Broadway Swider

This song, made famous by Ellie Goulding, has a simple harmonic chord structure built on piano and voice in the original track, so while adding strings was fun, I felt it was important to keep to the melodic lines and chords which the piano offers and not to venture too far from those so as to maintain the feel and integrity of her version of the song. I gave the violins the dueting vocal lines (she has recorded over herself multiple times in her track), and the cello has a somewhat more inventive but still exacting bass line (just to give the quartet a moving pulse), while the viola fills in the harmonies and provides the iconic piano melody that is inserted when Goulding isn't vocalizing. Measure numbers, rehearsal letters and bowings are provided for ease of sight reading and performing live at gigs.
