Guitar - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1294451 By Harry Belafonte. By Irving Burgie. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Pop,Traditional. 39 pages. Derek Hasted #884839. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1294451). JAMAICA FAREWELL - easy arrangement for 4 GUITARS/large ensembleFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes There are 3 ways to play my straightforward and accessible arrangement which comprises melody, countermelody, accompaniment and bass.1) For a mixed ability ensemble, simply play the intro (up to letter A), repeat 2 or more times from A to B, and then jump to E. The melody requires a little confidence up the neck, the other parts stay in first position - each part has a fixed role.2) If you play the full version, each of the 4 parts takes a verse of melody, countermelody, accompaniment and bass in turn.3) If you play the “+ percussion effects” version, there’s a simple “drum break” in the last two verses, and everyone has a chance to play the effects.For a larger ensemble, allocate parts from both arrangements - everything fits together!I hope you enjoy performing this well-known piece.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. Derek's website at www.derek-hasted.co.uk/smp lists all his arrangements by title and by number of instruments, with links to soundclips and sample score.
