The \"Hutsul Party\" is another work based on the Hutsul folklore. The compositionis written for a Guitar quartet and may be interesting for those who is fond ofrock music with complex rhythms and \"heavy\" sounding. The ethnic musical elementsare emphasized also with the use of a drymba (jew\'s-harp) ? an authenticfolklore instrument which makes the entire music picture of the work reallypeculiar.

The PDF Sheet Music of the composition contains 32 pages (main score 15 pages, parts ? 13 pages, 1 page with explanations,cover and the title page).

Fingering is indicated where appropriate. Duration:approx. 5 min. 12 sec.

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!"

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:

Murmures de classe (Classroom wispers), est un paysage sonore de nos classes de musique. Dans un premier temps, les jeunes guitaristes s?installent au son d?un ostinato � la guitare 4. Le son de la cloche, sur le th�me du Big Ben, annonce le d�but des cours. Ce projet est issu d?une demande de Mme Am�lie Grenier. L?aspect th��tral de cette pi�ce a pour objectif de stimuler le travail collectif dans leur milieu scolaire. Suggestion lors d?une prestation publique: Les guitares s?installent et commencent � jouer. Tous les autres guitaristes entrent en parlant, s?accordant, en jouant et au signal du chef � la mesure 5 la pi�ce d�bute. Bon spectacle Classroom wispers, is a soundscape of our music classes. First, the young guitarists settle in to the sound of an ostinato on guitar 4. The sound of the bell, on the theme of Big Ben, announces the start of lessons. This project came from a request from Ms. Am�lie Grenier. The theatrical aspect of this play aims to stimulate collective work in their school environment. Suggestion during a public performance: The guitars settle in and start playing. All the other guitarists enter talking, tuning, playing and at the signal of the conductor in measure 5 the piece begins. Good show.

A short, easy arrangement of the theme from Antonin Dvorak's famous New World Symphony (2nd Movement).

This arrangement provides a full score plus individual parts in both notes and TAB. The notes and TAB are given on separate sheets as I am aware that some teachers avoid TAB.

The parts are equally balanced with every guitarist enjoying some melodic interest.

The level is suitable for very early stage players. The music:

(1) Remains in open position
(2) Uses finger-friendly pentatonic shapes (as supported by many major pedagogic schemes)
(3) Requires players to alternate single notes between both thumb and fingers
(4) Gives time and space before engaging more-tricky fretted notes.

Rocky Road to Dublin - Arranged for four guitars by Dan Jones

"Rocky Road to Dublin" is a 19th-century Irish song.
Ittells of the trials and experiences of a young man as he travels to Liverpoolin England, via Dublin, from his rural home in Tuam, Ireland.

Thepiece is a favourite instrumental in 9/8 time. It has the characteristics of aslip jig, with five accents in the bar, on quavers 1,3,4,6 and7. These can beheard in the first bar in guitar 1. In the sung version, the singer sings ?1,2, 3, 4, 5? to correspond with these.

Thisarrangement balances the melodic interest across all four guitar parts. It issuitable for intermediate/advanced players.



Asplit screen video of the arranger performing the piece will be uploaded here before the end of March 2021.
