By Barbra Streisand. By Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb, and Robin Gibb. Arranged by Andrew Hodges. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Classical, Film/TV, Pop, Standards. 21 pages. Andrew Hodges #1378113. Published by Andrew Hodges (A0.1818017).The latest string orchestra arrangement of "Guilty"—the iconic 1980 duet by Barry Gibb and Barbra Streisand—reimagines the song's sophisticated pop-soul textures through the rich, homogeneous voice of a string ensemble. This version skillfully translates the original's lush "Bee Gees-style" production into a classical framework, replacing the sleek electric piano and guitar riffs with intricate violin counter-melodies and warm, resonant cello lines. The arrangement preserves the song’s signature soft-rock groove, utilising pizzicato in the lower strings to emulate the rhythmic drive of the bass and drums, while the violas and second violins provide the plush, close-harmony backing vocals that originally defined the track. By stripping away the lyrics, the arrangement highlights the Gibb brothers' masterfully crafted melody and its subtle, jazz-inflected harmonic shifts, turning a vintage pop hit into a cinematic, elegant centerpiece for modern string ensembles.
