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.

This is my second arrangement of this charming piece - the first is for two guitars at an intermediate standard. This version (for 3 guitars or large ensemble) brings this lovely piece within the reach of less experienced players - there are some little tricks I've used to make the piece much easier to play without sounding noticeably different!

This arrangement is ideal for a school concert as well as for an adult trio who are still finding their feet with ensemble playing. The parts use familiar chord shapes and the arrangement is free of barr� chords.

I hope you enjoy this piece!"

"Scarborough Fair" is a traditional English ballad that hangs in some versions at least upon a possible visit by an unidentified person (the "third party") to the Yorkshire town of Scarborough.
The song implies the tale of a man who instructs the third party to tell his former love, who lives in said fair town, to perform for him a series of impossible tasks, such as making for him a shirt without a seam and then washing it in a dry well, adding that if she were to complete these tasks he would take her back into his affections. Often the song is sung as a duet, with the woman then giving her sometime lover a series of equally impossible tasks, promising to give him his seamless shirt once he has finished.

Here is a version for Guitar trio with standard guitar notation and tablature. 9 pages all Gtrs, 3 pages Gtr1, 3 pages Gtr2, 3 pages Gtr3 - total 18 pages in landscape page format for easier interpreting.
With downlaodable mp3 for audio help.
Guitar 3 easy to early intemrediate, Guitar 1 and 2 (which plays the melody) easy.

This is an easy arrangement which is ideal for a school concert or for an adult ensemble that is just starting out. All three lines are musically interesting and lock together well, so this piece will come together quickly. Although there are no dynamic markings, you're free to add your own (and you really should experiment with what works for you!)

There are optional chords for those who like to strum!

Derek Hasted writes "This follows on from my arrangement of 'We Have All The Time In The World' which I wrote during the 2020 Coronavirus Lockdown and which features in the James Bond film series.

Next day I noticed that a different James Bond film was listed on the television pages for that evening and I just couldn?t resist publishing my arrangement of the definitive theme tune.

It suits an early intermediate to intermediate guitar group and the three parts are all of slightly different standards so there?s something for everyone here.

School teachers will find this piece comes together a lot more easily than some of the rather complicated arrangements that are out there, and it makes it perfect for an informal concert.

And adult ensembles who are just starting out will find it is a fun item to play too.

I hope you enjoy this piece!"
