Derek Hasted writes "Beethoven it isn?t, but a it?s fun novelty item to play in a school concert or even an informal adult concert.

This arrangement is based on one I wrote for my Guitar Workshop (see www.guitar-workshop.org.uk), and converted to a version for flute and guitar.

The original TV Theme is embarrassingly short, and so my arrangement repeats the entire middle section of the piece to present a performance item that's just long enough to surprise and delight the audience.

The accented notes in the introduction are those played by a rasping trombone in the original. I?ll be honest - neither the flute nor the guitar does a really convincing trombone impersonation, so if those notes don?t work for you, just skip over them!

I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"

ISBN 9781609741082. Select "Contradanzas Habaneras" by 19th century Cuban composer Manuel Saumell (1817-1870). Saumell is known as the "Father of nationalism in Cuban music." In more than 50 Contradanzas Habaneras, Saumell never repeated himself, for within those 8 or 16-bar phrases, he was capable of astounding rhythmic and melodic invention. This group of contradanzas were originally written for the piano and arranged here for flute and guitar by Elias Barreiro. Presented in standard notation only with music for flute, guitar and score.

This easy arrangement of Elvis Presley's relaxed and charming "Love Me Tender" (set to the music of Aura Lee) not only suits novice players, but also generates a lovely sound, mixing the sustain of the flute with an almost rag-time fingerpicking guitar accompaniment.

The use of a "swinging thumb" in the guitar part makes it easy to bring out a slowly ascending and descending chromatic middle voice, adding yet more interest to this well-known tune.


The guitar music has chord symbols and chord names as well as conventional notation.

Ideal for those just starting out in the world of music...
