THE SUSSEX CAROL - Very playable arrangement for GUITAR TRIO or larger ensembleFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This is perfect as an easy-to-play addition to any Christmas Concert.This charming English carol is arranged here for 3 early intermediate guitars (or a larger ensemble).This was captured and written down by Cecil Sharp, the Folk Song collector, and by Ralph Vaughan Williams who heard it in Horsham, in Sussex.My arrangement gives everyone a chance to play the tune, and each of the verses has a slightly different texture. There are also key changes so that each verse seems to move up a gear.It can be played entirely in the first and second position, or more experienced players may want to take the higher notes further up the neck. The tune is indicated by a change of volume, but please feel free to add other volume and/or tone changes to make the performance “yours�.I hope you enjoy playing this 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.

Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1275338). LOCAL HERO - WILD THEME - Student/Teacher GUITAR DUETPrimarily for Classical Guitar but also suitable for acoustic or electric guitars.Derek Hasted writes Rightly described as an astonishingly beautiful piece, this music from the film Local Hero actually features twice on the soundtrack album, in different keys with different solo instruments.My arrangement for classical guitar exploits the soft tones of the nylon strings and works well at a slightly more modest pace compared to the original. Iâ??ve taken the theme from the closing soundtrack version, where the melody is clear and powerful. Each player in the ensemble takes the lead part in turn, and my arrangement includes one or two little bits of Mark Knopflerâ??s quasi-improvised variations on the tune.This enjoyable concert item has a wonderfully captivating melody that the audience will be humming all the way home... My duet arrangement comes in 2 formats... This one (for student and teacher) comprises a melody line set in both score and score tab and a teacher's accompaniment set in score only. The student line is early intermediate and the teacher's part is advanced intermediate.A separate performance version (in which the workload is shared equally and thereâ??s a truly effortless switching of parts in the middle), set in score-only for two advanced intermediate players.To find the other version easily, visit my website (below) and look for my list of guitar duets.I hope you enjoy playing this 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.

Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1174620). Scott Joplin - THE EASY WINNERS - 3 GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This well-known piece is presented here as a very accessible guitar trio for an early-intermediate group of three guitars, or a large ensemble, making it ideal for a School Concert or as a crowd-pleaser in an adult concert.Guitar 3 has the bottom string tuned down to D, and the parts increase very slightly in complexity between the third part and the tune.The music is free from fingerings so that a more experienced ensemble can play the melody entirely in VII position, whereas a less experienced group might want to stay in lower positions where possible.By the same token, there are no dynamics - but please add as many as you wish, to make the performance “yours�.“The Easy Winners� might not be the first Scott Joplin Rag to reach the tip of your tongue (I’ve also arranged The Entertainer), but many feel it is one of his very finest.I hope you enjoy this 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.

BLAME IT ON THE BOSSA NOVA - FIVE GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This arrangement suits a guitar quintet, or alternatively a guitar quartet and a bass instrument - for example electric or acoustic bass or double bass. The fifth part is supplied in both treble and bass clefs - two versions of the same line. This arrangement has been a firm favorite in the adult ensemble that I run, and audiences love the infectious rhythm. Just like the original, the second verse is a semitone higher, but as the full score suggests, if you play verse one with no open strings, then verse two is simply one fret higher - a magical key-change that delights audiences and is no work at all!I hope you enjoy playing this piece!

My quartet has parts that increase slightly in complexity from bass to tune, so thereâ??s something for everyone here.

TWO LITTLE ZIPOLI FUGUES - accessible GUITAR DUETSFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric GuitarDerek Hasted writes Many guitarists will know Zipoli’s “Little Fugue�, though maybe not his Fughetta in Em.In this edition I have changed the key of both fugues to land on the “sweet spot� of the guitar’s neck, and to allow players to segue neatly from the Fughetta (in Am with a Tierce de Picardie ending in A major) to the Little Fugue (in A major).The music is laid out so that players can stay with the same part on both pieces, or swap seamlessly to the other part with no loss of continuity and no page turns.Guitar 1 is intermediate, Guitar 2 is easier - ideal for a student/teacher duo or (by swapping parts between pieces) a lovely performance item for a well-matched duo.There is a little left hand fingering, but no dynamics - please feel free to add your own dynamics and articulation to make the performance “yours�.I hope you enjoy playing these charming little miniatures!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.

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.

Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1383550). FOOT TAPPER (The Shadows) - 3 GUITARS or LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical Guitar - also suits Acoustic Guitar or Electric GuitarDerek Hasted writes It’s a bit of a blast from the past, but this is a really “under-the-fingers� piece that lives up to its name.My arrangement for 3 early intermediate guitars is devoid of the drum part, so a few extra notes have been added and a few empty bars removed, so that continuity is assured where the short drum breaks of the original took place.That apart, the speed, the key and the structure of the original are all here.Guitar 1 is the tune, and I’ve lifted it up an octave in the slow section so it’s easier to hear amongst the strummed chords, which can be quite heavy sounding on a classical guitar.Guitar 2 is the rhythm guitar part - all the chords are named, so that a school ensemble teacher, for example, can suggest 3- or 4-string versions of the big chords here. And you may find the usual first position G chord is less tiring than the barré version here, though it will sound a little bass-heavy.Either or both of the treble clef and bass clef versions of Guitar 3 can be played. In a large ensemble, having both will give a bigger sound.This exudes foot tapping happiness…I hope you enjoy playing this 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.

Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1124583). DEVIL'S GALOP (Dick Barton Theme Tune) - TWO GUITARSFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This evocative tune was the theme music to Dick Barton Special Agent, a radio drama on the BBC many decades ago.The music is full of tension, with rising chromatic chords and long chromatic scale passages creating a constant restless feel.The roles of tune and accompaniment swap over increasingly often as the piece progresses, so the audience will have plenty to watch as well as hear.The accompaniment role is fingered, as there’s really only one place on the guitar to play the chords. The tune, though, is unfingered - there is a compromise between the short reach in high positions and the extra height of the action - you may prefer to stay up the neck, or you may wish to move up and down - please add fingering and position changes where you wish. And add slurs too, if these improve the flow of the music.Here and there, I have deliberately “respelled� some of the accidentals in a way that hopefully improves overall readability, and sometimes the two parts have two representations of the same note at the same time.A version of this was played by the Hampshire Guitar Orchestra who also managed to find time to mop their brows in the occasional pauses in the action.I hope you enjoy playing this piece!
