English - German.

Probably the first non-European guitar method and today an ideal and natural primer for the classical guitar with international acceptance. As popular now as ever.

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!"
