SKU: A0.1341998
By ABBA. By Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Arranged by Krista Broadway Swider. Pop. 15 pages. Krista Swider #927511. Published by Krista Swider (A0.1341998).This Abba classic is a blast to play. This song’s form is simple, but it has really fun vocal line solos for all the instruments, snazzy synthesizer solos featured by the violins, and a great beat, which the cello and viola hold down. The arrangement starts with an intro using only the top 3 voices, imitating the feel of the original music video which starts with the four Abba singers singing acapella. Following the intro, viola and cello team up playing the “Take a Chance” rhythmic figure, emulating the chanted words from the original track, while the violins play the melody in duet form. The viola takes the melody on the first half of the verse, while the cello hugs the bass line and violins hang out on discreet descants and counter melodies. The cello then wails the melody on the second half of the verse, with a brief section in tenor clef. The song repeats and fades out on the chorus. Bowings and rehearsal letters are included for ease of sight-reading, ideal for gigging performances. This version has been arranged a half step down (the original song was written in B Major, and I adjusted the key to B-flat Major so that it’s a bit friendlier to string players).
