The song forms the centrepiece of The Snowman, which has become a seasonal favourite on British and Finnish television. This version for guitar quartet has its structure based on the Aled Jones recording and takes some inspiration from that orchestral arrangement. Guitar quartets are enormous fun especially as there is so little ensemble music for guitar that is easy to play but also rewarding to listen to. All the parts are very straightforward except Guitar 2 which has a little more to do than the others.

WALKING IN THE AIR (The Snowman) - 4 GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLE For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This charming piece from the film The Snowman is a family favorite for all ages! This is a very straightforward and accessible arrangement that would suit a mixed-ability ensemble with limited experience. It makes it ideal for a school concert but also as a well-known piece in a Christmas charity concert.All the arpeggios are based on well-known guitar shapes and the piece locks tightly together, whether played on four guitars or in a large ensemble.It's written without repeats or page turns so it's robust in performance. It's been a firm favorite in concerts that I've put on!I hope you enjoy playing this piece!
