Product Description

Take Me on is a classic, ultra catchy 80s tune that lends itself well to a string trio arrangement. The viola and cello both take the melody for a verse or two, with the violin handling the melody for the chorus. The violin and viola parts have a number of chords to help fill in the harmonies and make for a richer texture, resembling the sound of a string quartet more closely. The bridge section, (rehearsal E), is notated as performed in the original recording. The bridge has a bit of a psychedelic feel. If you feel your trio isn't up for the odd music of the bridge, it's easy to simply skip rehearsal E and cut right to letter F. The score and parts are well marked with bowings, measure numbers and rehearsal letters.
