"If I Can't Have You," the hit single from Canadian singer Shawn Mendes, has reached the top five on the pop charts in 11 different countries, and it's obvious why - this song is upbeat, fun, and sing-along-able, and once you listen to it, its catchy hook won't get out of your head! With its signature lyric "Everything means nothing if I can't have you," this love song is sure to be requested for wedding ceremonies, receptions, and cocktail hour, and will also be great for parties, corporate events, solo & ensemble contests and any other occasion in need of some good vibes. This arrangement for two-violin and cello trio captures the soul of the original song with its lyrical melody lines and driving syncopated beat, and also adds layers of beautiful harmonies and some back-and-forth between the parts for a chart that's just as much fun to play as it is to listen to! This is an intermediate level arrangement that will be easily learnable for students and sightreadable for professionals. (There are a few double stops - all easy 5ths in the cello part, and all against an open string in the v2 part.)
Special thanks to Las Vegas Music Oasis for their recording of this arrangement!
