Viva la Vida Cover - katescandyshack contest response

An early attempt at a Viva la Vida cover as a joint venture between me and a friend.

We started at first with katescandyshack's instructional video:

and were inspired to do add in other parts by ew1282's cover:

We're overachievers - Kate said "be creative" so instead of playing in an easier key, or just one part, one of us arranged a violin quartet, in the original key, with all the parts from the original. Little did we know performing all the parts and getting them in sync would be the hardest part. So here's our first attempt - more or less sightread.

To everyone who wants to critique: Yes, we know some rhythms are off and there are some timing issues, intonation problems, etc. We're working on a better recording of the entire piece and we'll post that later. We just wanted to post this in time for katescandyshack'scontest...
