Two traditional and lively Jewish songs, well-suited for weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, general performance, or just playing for fun with friends or by yourself! Specially arranged for solo cello, BY a cellist FOR cellists, including chords and drones idiomatic to the cello.

"Tennessee Whiskey" was originally written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove in 1981. It has since been recorded by several notable country artists, but the most commercially successful of these was Chris Stapleton in 2015, whose version shot to the top of the charts and was certified platinum after he performed it with Justin Timberlake at the Country Music Association awards. This arrangement for solo cello was originally commissioned for a wedding prelude, and it maintains the beautiful melodic lines, passionate dynamic changes, and steady groove of the original. This sweet and slow country love song describes how love can lift you out of a dark place in your life, so of course it will be perfect not just for weddings, but for receptions, proposals, cocktail hour, parties, and any other occasion you want your audience to start slow-dancing! No accompaniment part -- it stands alone, or can be played with a backing track for solo gigs. Rated advanced-intermediate for a LOT of complex, almost improvisational-sounding rhythms and some high notes (up to 4th position).
