(There is Love)

Words and Music by Noel Paul Stookey

Arranged by Carla Boardman Padrón

 

Description

This song was originally recorded by singer/songwriter Noel Paul Stookey (who was a member of Peter, Paul and Mary) in the 1960's and is still a popular selection for weddings today.  The lyrics are paramount to this song, so I chose to arrange it as accompaniment rather than an instrumental piece.

Key F major
Performance length Approx. 4 minutes
Instrumental or Vocal Accompaniment This arrangement can be performed as an instrumental or used to accompany vocalists.

Vocal Score If your vocalist needs a score, the original piano-vocal sheet matches the string arrangements bar for bar.  Most local music stores have this very popular sheet, but you can also click the graphic below to order it on-line from Sheet Music Plus (opens in a separate window).

P0003-Q2 String Quartet accompaniment

Description:
-
Violin 1 carries the melody line but uses held notes instead of the vocal rhythm.  This allows for rhythmic interpretation by the vocalist.
- Viola has 8th note broken chords to simulate original guitar part.
- Violin 2 and Cello fill in the rest of the chord and bass line.

Computerized sample - Vocal and string quartet accompaniment

P0003-VS Vocal Score

Description:
Shows string quartet parts on 2 staves, which is very useful to the vocalist.  Rehearsal letters and bar numbers match as well, which may not be true with a piano/vocal score.
