MEDIUM to DIFFICULT

“La Vie en rose” (from French: Life in pink) is the signature song of popular French singer Édith Piaf, written in 1945 – music by Louis Guglielmi {Louiguy}- popularized in 1946, and released as a single in 1947. The song became very popular in the US in 1950 with no fewer than seven different versions reaching the Billboard charts (these were by Tony Martin, Paul Weston, Bing Crosby, Ralph Flanagan, Victor Young, and Louis Armstrong).

A version in 1977 by Jamaican singer Grace Jones was also a successful international hit. “La Vie en rose” has been covered by many other artists over the years, including a 1993 version by American singer Donna Summer. Harry James also recorded a version in 1950 on Columbia 38768. Bing Crosby recorded the song again for his 1953 album Le Bing: Song Hits of Paris.

Johnstone’s concert version – suitable in formal and informal events – for two cellos is for competent cellists but is quite playable for music college students and good amateurs. Advanced and professional cellists will probably enjoy this as a convincing cello duo work. Both parts have the same difficulty; the first cello for the intervallic melody leaps in the higher registers, and the second part for the faster flowing arpeggiated 16th-note patterns (in the second half of the piece found placed on Eb Major).
