THE DREAM OF OLWEN - One of two GUITAR DUETSFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes I have made two arrangements of this lovely piece. This edition contains the more accessible arrangement - ideal for an intermediate duo or a student/teacher duo. Visit my website (below) to easily find the other version.This fantastic piece was written as an integral part of the film 'While I Live', and such is the power and emotion in the music, it has achieved a recognition that has far outlasted the film.My arrangement for two guitars captures all of the original, fiendishly difficult, piano composition, but uses the sweet tone of the guitar to add quality, rather than quantity, to the notes, creating a soundscape that works effectively and makes a wonderful concert piece lasting almost 4 minutes.The centre section has a simpler accompaniment than the original to avoid an overly fussy and unsatisfactory sound. Elsewhere the accompaniment is less rhythmically busy than the original, yet the chords are retained.There are two arrangements in this one edition...Version 1 allocates the music to the players as if they were the left and right hands of the piano piece - ideal for a duo in which one player is technically stronger than the other (for example a student/teacher duet).Version 2 swaps the roles around at the phrase boundaries and suits a well-matched duo.The choice of which you play is yours...The arpeggios are fingered because they generally only work well in one position. The melody, by contrast, is unfingered; it is chromatic and so there is no place on the neck where all the notes are accessible. It’s really a matter of personal choice where you change position and whether you prefer to stay high up the neck or venture down to get a brighter tone.Dedicated to the memory of my maternal grandmother Olwen

Instrumental Duet Guitar,Instrumental Duet - Digital Download SKU: A0.953831 Composed by Haydn Reeder. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. Score and parts. 7 pages. Haydn Reeder #3448243. Published by Haydn Reeder (A0.953831). Suitable as an exciting inclusion in a concert setting, this guitar duo lasts about 5 minutes. At times there are a few extended techniques required, all confined to playing on the strings, such as raised pitches, glissandi, harmonics and pizzicato.To explain the title: there are several distinct gestures or textures which circulate through the piece.  However, only one is heard in its original form on its return.  It features an intermittently repeated low chord on one guitar while the other traces a slow high two-part shape.  After being introduced, it is contemplated for quite a long time and during this initial phase is returned to several times.  Here, the composer is like an alchemist who is reflecting on the results of a successful experiment.  At its later return this central idea is only briefly referred to.  The final section could be described as a thumping toccata.

Instrumental Duet Guitar,Instrumental Duet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.797760 Composed by Lionel Bart. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Contemporary. Score and parts. 8 pages. Derek Hasted #5197285. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.797760). AS LONG AS HE NEEDS ME (Oliver) - GUITAR DUETFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.This poignant yet uplifting piece is from the stage show & film Oliver and is another fine example of Lionel Bart's craftsmanship with melody.Derek Hasted writes This makes a delightful 'quiet piece' in a concert - many of the audience will know the music and my arrangement has been crafted to make an accessible duet that generates rich chords without complexity - the work is split across the players.The first guitar part goes high up the neck, but the music is slow and the shapes are straightforward. The second guitar part requires the 6th string to be tuned down to D and there are a couple of chords that require three fingers to be placed simultaneously, but there are lots of open strings throughout the piece that help improve the sustain and flow. The bottom D provides real depth to this piece and the sound is full and lush for minimal effort. The last chord has a thick bass that creates the illusion of an even deeper D to end the piece.I have also arranged Where Is Love by Lionel Bart for solo guitar and for flute/guitar duet - you can find them here or via my wwebsite (below)>br>I hope you enjoy this piece!
