Derek Hasted writes "This charming piece, by Ennio Morricone, has found fame in the films Maddalena and Le Professionnel, and on television in An Englishman's Castle and The Life and Times of David Lloyd George. In the UK it reached number 2 in the Singles Chart.

I have also made a simpler arrangement for 3 guitars (or large ensemble), listed elsewhere on SheetMusicPlus - this duet version stays closer to the original, but requires a little more dexterity.

My arrangement for 2 guitars comes with full score and two slightly different arrangements, all in this one edition. One arrangement is "tune and accompaniment", and is ideal for a school concert as well as for an adult duo of slightly different skills, or as a student/teacher duet. The other arrangement switches the parts between tune and accompaniment for a version which is slightly more interesting for players and audience in a concert situation. That said, both versions will work in front of an audience!

The accompaniment line uses a sixth string tuned to D, and many of the arpeggio shapes are instantly recognisable. Each is fingered on its first occurrence. The sixth string tuning removes the full barr�s on the chords of F and G, leaving half barr�s in their place.

I hope you enjoy this piece!"

This is one of a large and growing range of accessible ensembles from experienced arranger Derek Hasted, and is supplied as full score and parts. Check out Derek's other arrangements - search SheetMusicPlus for Derek Hasted and you'll see the full list, all with soundclips and sample score. Derek's website at www.derek-hasted.co.uk/smp has all the arrangements grouped by "number of instruments".

Based on an arrangement faithful to the 1982 recording of Cavatina by John Williams, written for two guitars. One staff and tablature for the melody, a second staff and tablature with suggested fingerings for the arpeggio part. Seven pages total. Chord names are also provided, which aid in mastering the arpeggio.

omanza (Spanish Romance) arranged for two guitars in E minor. In this easy arrangement for beginner players or students not quite ready to perform full barre chords, the melody, played by Guitar 1, is accompanied by simple arpeggios in triplets in Guitar 2 using minimal barre chords. Includes a 4-page score with tablature, chords and fingering suggestions, plus 2-page score without tabs.
