Inmy recording I have used an electric guitar. The arrangement is also verysuitable for classical and acoustic (steel strung) guitar groups. I am mindfulto create an arrangement which teachers can use for groups in music schools.The techniques employed mirror those required in the usual pathway of musicaland technical development. I am certain that using popular and well-loved musicwill achieve exactly the same musical and technical results as ?classical?repertoire with the added bonus that audiences, parents and pupils alike willfind the music exciting, original and motivating.

Extracting Goats from Jean-Claude's Kitchen

Thisarrangement of Rockin? Around the Christmas Tree is written for a guitarquartet although it may also be performed by a large guitar ensemble with fourparts. The Guitar 4 part may also bedoubled on bass. The rhythms in thisarrangement are rather simple. The rangefor guitar 1 goes to a high D on the tenth fret for only one note. This should be considered an intermediatelevel arrangement and ideal for Year 2, Quarter 2.

"Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I." From a rich, vibrant Celtic tradition comes the memorable tune "The Water is Wide," lovingly crafted to evoke misty Scottish landscapes with rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic acoustic guitar quartet is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed event), recitals and concerts. For wedding music, this arrangement is recommended as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.
As sacred music, "The Water is Wide" is effective as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, silent prayer accompaniment or special music for traditional church services and other worship events. This melody has been used in multiple hymn settings, including "The Gift of Love," "Though I May Speak with Bravest Fire," and as an alternate melody for "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." 15 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page pullout parts for each guitar). Key: G major.

Derek Hasted writes "This is a real crowd-pleaser that will suit any concert.

This arrangement is closely based on the version that the group 'Sky' played (with the electric guitar 'break') rather than the version for solo guitar. A version of my arrangement was originally performed by the Hampshire Guitar Orchestra, and the soundclip sitting alongside this score in the SheetMusicPress shop is part of a recording they made live in Concert. That soundclip features different sizes of classical guitar, but the arrangement here is for 4 ordinary guitars - or for a bigger sound, a large ensemble.

The essence of the electric guitar solo in Sky?s arrangement is captured in this arrangement in Guitar 1a, but it?s hard to play without a cutaway guitar, so there?s a second version with the solo an octave lower in Guitar 1b. The rest of the Guitar 1 parts are identical.

Both the Guitar 1 parts and the Guitar 2 part have finger positions shown on the score - this is so that all the fast runs can be slurred, which gives the melody a nice articulation and takes some of the workload away from the right hand. If you prefer to stay in one position and pluck the runs, that works well too.

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".

Apachecomposed by Jerry Lordan, as playedby The Shadows

Arranged for Guitar Quartet by Dan Jones

Thisarrangement of Apache has been madewith real-world guitar teachers and ensembles in mind.

Perhapsour instrument?s greatest joy is the fact that it exists in so many forms andstyles of music. Some players prefer the electric guitar and read from TAB,others have a classical background and are therefore more familiar with notes;others still prefer reading from chord charts with fretboard diagrams.

Thisdownload considers all of these musicians.

Guitar1 is the main tune, as played by Hank Marvin in The iconic recording made byThe Shadows. The music is provided in both notes and TAB.

Guitar 2is a part with chords. This is given with chord symbols, fretboard diagrams andrhythm patterns.

Guitar3 is designed to include the less-experienced player. It is in open positionand the part, being easy to read, is given in notes. This is an optional part.

Guitar 4is a transcription of the bass line. It is an interesting andrhythmically-exciting part. It is in simple positions and is given in notesonly.

Guitar4 can also be played by a bass guitar. The part is also given in bass clef(sounding an octave lower).

It is myintention to provide arrangements which are exciting, original, stimulating,flexible and which people want to play. Films of all of my arrangements forboth guitar solo and guitar ensemble can be found at:
