An arrangement of Leonard Cohen's beautiful song, 'Hallelujah' for easy guitar ensemble.

This is one of the most iconic pop songs ever written and has been covered by a huge range of international artists.

This arrangement has been designed to make technical playing as easy as possible and to maximise musical interest; even the easiest part has melodic interest due to the pentatonic shapes employed.

Download now includes a conductor's score and individual parts in BOTH NOTES AND TAB, all in one download.

Parts in TAB are provided on a separate sheet to the notes as I am aware that some teachers/learners wish to avoid using TAB.

To help learners, a multi-screen video is available at: https://youtu.be/m8QP5LoBkuc.

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:
