Solo Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1402631 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Richard Hirsch. Blues,Jazz,Multicultural,Ragtime,Spiritual,World. Individual part. 8 pages. Richard Hirsch #985855. Published by Richard Hirsch (A0.1402631). I offer an arrangement for solo acoustic guitar of the Spiritual “The Battle of Jericho� in a rendition that takes inspiration from Mississippi Delta Ragtime Blues and Django Reinhardt. The thumb pounds out a steady beat of alternating bases to a swing rhythm with the melody played by alternating middle and index fingers running over the top. There are lots of pull-offs and vibrato-bends in the melody line together with half-tone chord shifts, mutes, and holds (fermatas) that make for a lively and exciting musical rendering of the Old Testament story. However, as opposed to the message of the Old Testament story, I like to think of my arrangement as a message of hope that through music the walls of ignorance separating peoples will “come tumbling down�.The arrangement is within reach of advanced intermediate students of nylon or steel string acoustic guitar.
