ISBN 9781609744090. Laurindo Almeida (1917-1995) belongs to an elite group of Brazilian/American guitarists, who by composing important works for the guitar reinstated the instrument in his native country as worthy of serious musical study. This collection presents Almeida GCOs trios preserving the original left and right hand fingerings. Written in standard notation only.

Arranger Derek Hasted writes "This is a very straightforward trio arrangement of the slow and gentle piece "Carillon", composed for, and played by Sky.

(I've also written a duet version, where Guitar 2 and 3 are merged onto one guitar)

Guitar 3 would suit a complete beginner with just a few months' experience - and what a thrill to be part of a piece that John Williams played!

Guitar 2 is an arpeggio accompaniment that uses simple and common shapes.

Guitar 1 ventures up the neck, but it's such a slow piece that this is really straightforward."

This would be great in a school concert, but also an adult ensemble would find it a crowd-pleaser that takes little effort to perform!
