CHI MAI (Ennio Morricone) - FLUTE and GUITAR DUET
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.
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.
I have also made arrangements for 2 and 3 guitars (or large ensemble), - visit my website (below) to find it easily.
My arrangement uses the guitar's sixth string tuned down to D so that the bass line can drop down at the point the original builds in orchestration. The arpeggios are not as complex as the original version, but the result fits the guitar so much better and sounds both unforced and natural.
The flute part is kept low to avoid the shrillness that comes in the upper registers.
I hope you enjoy this gentle, restful piece; I am sure your audiences will too!
