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:

This beautifultraditional hymn has been spread through all ages and loved by all Christians.Now with the new arrangements Rev.Chien wrote for choir, it shows adifferent style. Especially in the middle part, Rev. Chien added a newmelody that cleverly and vividly describe the scene of walking through thevalley of the shadow of the death. His arrangement for the last part iswonderful too, bringing out the deep feel of comfort and peace in the presenceof Lord. Rev. Chien has won the Japanese NHK International ComposingCompetition. He has strong and solid theory of Western traditional musicand good at adding a flavor of oriental mystery to his music, so hismusic pieces are particularly charming and have a unique style thatdifferentiates him from ordinary composers. Anyone who has sung hissongs will fall in love with his music .
