Since then I’ve performed it many times in concert with my Guitar Workshop, and it’s always particularly well received.The arpeggios and countermelodies are inspired by the repeating sequences in Pachelbel’s Canon, and they end up providing a rich and totally unexpected accompaniment to a verse and chorus of the famous Christmas Carol 'The First Nowell'.This piece is just perfect as a special item in a Christmas concert, because the title conceals the surprise in the piece - each phase brings in another guitar part, making the piece build slowly before the final guitar launches into the well-known carol.

Solo Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.943124 Composed by Tim Rushworth. Baroque,Concert,Contemporary. Individual part. 3 pages. Tim Rushworth #5208959. Published by Tim Rushworth (A0.943124). Have you ever been frustrated by trying to play Bach’s Prelude in C (from the well tempered clavier) on the guitar? As he wrote it for keyboard, it’s not surprising that it doesn’t quite work, I suppose. Well, after many years of wanting to play it on my guitar, I have realised that unless I learn to play the lute or get a 10 string guitar, it’s not going to happen. The keyboard version is so beautiful that it doesn’t need any alteration, but I have always felt that it should work on guitar, somehow or other.

THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL - Great concert piece for 4 GUITARS or larger ensemblePrimarily for Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar only.Derek Hasted writes This is a concert crowd-pleaser perfect for intermediate or advanced intermediate guitarists!One reason ABBA songs are so memorable isn’t the strong melody line, it’s all the other clever harmonies and countermelodies that lurk just under the surface to make a crafted masterpiece.My arrangement uses guitar-friendly shapes to capture the whole song and many of the countermelodies that make the original such a great listen.The dynamics on the score tie in with the orchestration, so that the quiet sections are slow-moving and the louder sections are busy, adding yet more notes before the previous ones fade away. I’ve added just a little fingering here and there if there’s really only one place on the neck to play what’s on the page. Elsewhere, please choose the sweet spot that gives you, the player, the best mix of tone, sustain, playability and confidence.I hope you enjoy performing this as much as the audience will enjoy hearing it!This is one of a large and growing range of accessible ensembles from experienced arranger Derek Hasted, and is supplied as full score and parts.

Solo Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.905205 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Aleksander Wilgos. Baroque. Individual part. 2 pages. Aleksander Wilgos #5792131. Published by Aleksander Wilgos (A0.905205). Here is my transcription of Bach's Chorale Prelude BWV 639. The title Ich ruf zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ means: I call to You, Lord Jesus Christ and is famous for it's simplicity and profoundness. Prelude is composed for organ and it's original tonality in F minor. I transposed it to more guitar friendly tonality D minor.I loved the way Paweł Pawlikowski used the piece in the last scene of his Oscar winning movie Ida, so I took the liberty to transcribe it. It is quite demanding but totally worth an effort. The music is beautiful!

Solo Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1377888 By Aaron Larget-Caplan. By Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Aaron Larget-Caplan. Baroque,Christian,Christmas,Classical,Early Music. Individual part. 5 pages. Aaron Larget-Caplan #962501. Published by Aaron Larget-Caplan (A0.1377888). Prelude N. 1 in C Major, BWV 846 by J.S. Bach (1685-1750) arranged by Aaron Larget-Caplan Includes: 2 pages of music, 1 page of notes, 1 page of alternate fingering. It is recommended to print double-sided so no page turns are required while playing.About this Arrangement â?? The regular arpeggio gesture is straightforward on piano, but on guitar the performer may have to do a few adjustments to keep this gesture clear. The performer should play the arpeggios over multiple strings as much as possible allowing the notes to ring beyond their notated values. The music can be realized in various ways; hence the fingerings are suggestions and some measures can be played without a Barre. For an ethereal conclusion, I raised the octave of the last measures.Prelude N. 1 in C Major (no sharps or flats) is the first of 44 preludes and fugues written by Bach for keyboard. It follows a progression of arpeggiated chords touching multiple keys as it climaxes on an exquisite pedal point in the Dominant before returning to C-major. One of the most often arranged of Bachâ??s compositions, it was most famously the basis of Ave Maria by Charles Gunoud.This arrangement of Prelude No. 1 in C major, WTC Book I, BWV 846 is featured on the 2022 album â??Godâ??s Time: Music of J.S. Bach on Guitarâ?? by Aaron Larget-Caplan on Tiger Turn (888-09) and streams worldwide. Online lessons are also available.The arrangements of Aaron Larget-Caplan have been called â??very importantâ?� and â??a must haveâ?�, with Soundboard â??strongly advocatingâ?� for them â??to be performed by young guitaristsâ?� and include music by J.S. Bach, John Cage, Isaac Albéniz, Franz Schubert, Reynaldo Hahn, and Alan Hovhaness. 

Solo Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1473187 By Tom Salvatori. By Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by Tom Salvatori. 19th Century,Classical,Romantic Period. Individual part. 1 pages. Salvatori Productions, Inc. #1050809. Published by Salvatori Productions, Inc. (A0.1473187). A note about this Guitar Arrangement - This piece presents a reimagined excerpt from Felix Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto #1 in E minor, 2nd Movement. My goal in the arrangement was to stay strongly reverent to the original form and structure of the composition, but to present it in a manner that I anticipate even Mendelssohn himself would have never expected to hear his work...as a solo nylon string guitar lullaby. My hope is that you will enjoy listening to it in it's new form, and that it will help bring Felix Mendelssohn's composing work newly to the ears of folks who may not be inclined to attend Classical Symphony concerts. - Tom Salvatori, Guitar ArrangerShow less.

Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1318113 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Simon James. Advent,Baroque,Christmas,Classical,Contemporary. 19 pages. DML #906815. Published by DML (A0.1318113). Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is the popular English title of the chorale from the 1723 Advent cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben (Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life), BWV 147. This arrangement for guitar quartet follows Bach’s original orchestration as far as possible so the choral sections co-exist with the string parts and basso continuo. It does involve a certain amount of reduction in the original voicings but has retained the cross rhythms in the choral section and bass. It makes this arrangement quite complex to perform but very definitely worth it. The 2nd guitar and 1st guitar do cross over each other but that is in Bach’s original writing and I have not changed it.

Solo Guitar - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1305049 Composed by Billy Rose, E.Y. Yip Harburg, and Harold Arlen. Arranged by Christopher J. Malin. 20th Century,Film/TV,Jazz,Standards. Individual part. 1 pages. Christopher J. Malin #894466. Published by Christopher J. Malin (A0.1305049). Solo jazz guitar chord/melody arrangement with tablature. Seldom heard standard in this style. Beautiful, instantly recognizable melody. One of Harold Arlen's finer pieces. The film Papermoon was named after the song! Very unusual.This piece makes you stand out as a solo jazz guitarist of all idioms. Some chords are played as triads or dyads or eliminated, and single notes are used. I draw a line over the note if it's the high note of a chord or I use a dot if it's played as a single note, the chord is then in parentheses. I tend to use a minimalist style that keeps the important parts of the music. I also wrote the lyrics under the chords/notes in the B section to help with the timing. This song is in an ABABA format. I love the light, childlike melody! Sounds great on acoustic and electric guitars.

Solo Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1234273 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Richard Hirsch. Baroque,Christian,Classical,Country,Folk. Individual part. 7 pages. Richard Hirsch #829813. Published by Richard Hirsch (A0.1234273). I offer an arrangement of Bach’s all-time favourite Jesus, Joy of Man’s Desiring for solo acoustic or classical guitar. I have arranged the piece in 4/4 time in a folk-fingerpicking style giving it something of an American folk-country character, perhaps verging on a gospel. The arrangement follows the original as faithfully as possible with the melody and choral sections interwoven. I think the piece survives the time-change operation beautifully, retaining the joyful and praiseful character of Bach’s original. The piece is a joy to play and to listen to.The arrangement is accessible to intermediate to advanced students of acoustic or classical guitar. Any student of guitar who has mastered the basics of thumb-index-middle fingerpicking  (thumb, thumb, index, middle, thumb, index) will have fun with the piece.I give extensive left hand fingering accompanied by tabs as a guide to the intermediate students of guitar. Right hand fingering is given for the first playing of the repetitive passages and in passages where it might be difficult for the performer to find appropriate  fingering. Otherwise I expect the fingering to be more or less self-evident, leaving it to the individual taste and style of the interpreting guitarist.I have set the tempo to Presto for the arrangement to keep close to lively nature of the original, but the arrangement can also be played much slower, somewhere around Metronome 130. This results in a shift in mood towards a ragtime blues, verging on a spiritual. This great music is a never-ending source of inspiration.The piece is a nice follow-up to my folk-fingerpicking arrangements for Freight Train and The Entertainer.
