FELIZ NAVIDAD (José Feliciano) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensemblePrimarily for Classical or Acoustic Guitar, but sometimes listed under Electric GuitarDerek Hasted writes My arrangement of this joyously upbeat Christmas piece follows the key of the original, but orchestrated to suit classical (or acoustic) guitar.Guitar 1 takes the tune most of the time, and reaches up to fret 14 in the uplifting chorus.Guitars 2 and 3 have a rhythmic accompaniment, but they also provide musical contrast in the middle voice, where each takes a verse down low - be sure the accompaniment up high doesn’t mask out the melody here!Guitar 4 is tuned down to 6=D and has the 3:3:2 rhythm that gives this piece its real sense of fun.Ideal for an intermediate quartet or large ensemble. 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.

Guitar - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1383550 By The Shadows. By Bruce Welch and Hank Marvin. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Pop,Rock. 23 pages. Derek Hasted #968000. 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.

FEED THE BIRDS (from Mary Poppins) - FLUTE and GUITAR DUETFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric GuitarDerek Hasted writes This delightful melody features in the film Mary Poppins, where its beauty, simplicity and elegance really make this humble piece shine out.My arrangement for flute and guitar includes all the verses and the instrumental break, wrapped up in an accessible arrangement that feels comfortable for both players. The guitar part is intermediate, the flute part is very slightly easier.I have included some fingering for the guitar part so that it’s clear which positions are used, and there are skeleton dynamics that reflect the different textures in the accompaniment. Please feel free to add more to make the performance yours.I hope you enjoy playing this lovely and moving 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.

SAMAN - accessible, gentle piece for 2 GUITARSIntended for classical guitar, though sometimes it gets listed erroneously under electric guitar.Derek Hasted writes Composed for piano in the key of 3 flats, this gentle piece has a timeless, ethereal sound.There are a handful of arrangements for solo guitar using a Capo to recreate the original key, but it’s hard to recreate the spacious, effortless sound and pedal sustain of the piano. My duet version places the piece in a different key, where the guitar breathes more easily, and the two players create a delightful stereo effect that makes the sound “bigger�. The difficult chords and stretches, the awkward sustains - they’ve all gone, and the result is an accessible duet that will delight audiences with its grace and smoothness.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.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD (Louis Armstrong) - 4 GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This is a very accessible arrangement of a real classic! It works well as a guitar quartet, and sounds even more impressive played by a larger ensemble.The key is just a semitone lower than the original Louis Armstrong version, and most of the chords will seem instantly familiar. The choice of key means that you might just get an audience singing along - all the sections of the original are here.Guitar 1 is the tuneGuitar 2 swaps between the string section, the flute and the horns of the originalGuitar 3 is arpeggio based, and the first instance of each shape is fingered.Guitar 4 is the bass line, and is presented in both treble and bass clefs (play one or the other or both!)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 (A0.1345389). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (The Smiths) - accessible piece for 2 GUITARSIntended for classical guitar, though sometimes it gets listed erroneously under electric guitar.Both parts are supplied in “Notation only� and “Notation + TAB�Derek Hasted writes This song burst back into my consciousness when it was played as a Viennese Waltz in the BBC TV program “Strictly Come Dancing�.The ponderous, downbeat, original became light, inspiring, uplifting and very beautiful.Here’s the version that was on TV - the same key as the original but slightly shorter.One guitar takes the tune, the other (with the bottom string tuned to D) takes the accompaniment - there is really no seamless way to swap roles partway through, so as well as a concert piece it’s an excellent Student/Teacher duet to teach some rhythms that are unexpected.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.

ORIGIN OF LOVE - 3 GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes I arranged this rather impressive piece by Mika at the time he was a judge on the UK TV program “The Piano�. Set one note higher than the original it uses the entire range of the guitar from a tuned down bottom D up to the F# on fret 14 to make a wall of sound.It runs for nearly 5 minutes, and like so many good modern tunes there are countermelodies, subtle variations on repeats and a really satisfying sound.My arrangement for 3 guitars would sound even more impressive in a large ensemble setting.There are no fingerings - the most important thing about this piece is to find a position that works for the players.This is a large piece - the music takes up 4 sheets of paper per player...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.

Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1292872). CAVATINA for SOPRANO/MEZZO and GUITARBest suited for Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar only.Derek Hasted writes The beautifully melodic Cavatina was made famous by John Williams, who arranged the piece for solo guitar and produced some effortless recordings of it.Cleo Laine then produced a sublime song - He Was BeautifulWhy this arrangement?I’ve lowered the key by one tone which makes many of the chords sound more mellow and it now suits both mezzo and soprano voices - a range of an octave and a note, starting on sharpened Middle C.In the guitar part, I’ve fixed the ungainly jumps in the accompaniment bass line which came as a constraint of playing up the neck on solo guitar and I’ve improved the connectivity of the middle voices from chord to chord so the chord changes sound more effortless and natural.By virtue of the key change and careful use of enharmonic equivalents, the guitar part is now on familiar ground.The guitar part is here in “score and tab� and in “score alone� - there is no difference in the music.I also have versions for two guitars and for woodwind and guitar - to find them easily, visit my website (below) and look for my list of guitar duets and woodwind arrangements.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.

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!

Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1504267). FELIZ NAVIDAD (José Feliciano) - FLUTE & GUITAR duetDerek Hasted writes My arrangement of this joyously upbeat Christmas piece follows the key of the original, but arranged for flute and classical (or acoustic) guitar.The standard is just on the easy side of intermediate.The Guitar is tuned down to 6=D and has the 3:3:2 rhythm that gives this piece its real sense of fun. Although the music reaches the fifth position in places, it’s generally in first and second position to give access to a deeper bass-line.A competent flautist can make the final verse more dramatic by taking the music up an octave. This takes the highest note up to top F# which some intermediate players find a little unreliable.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.

SONG FOR A NEW BEGINNING - 3 GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This lovely music is dedicated to my Guitar Workshop - an informal ensemble for adult novice and intermediate guitars that I have had the privilege to found and then run for 35 years. It’s time to hand on the baton to a younger guitarist to lead the Workshop for perhaps another 35 years.This piece was composed by Rolf Løvland (Secret Garden).My arrangement suits an early intermediate trio - indeed the bass line is even suitable for a beginner who can understand 6=D tuning. My arrangement is in a key that helps fit the music to the sweet spot of the guitar’s compass and sound. There’s no fingering - please take the notes where you find them most reliable.Guitar 2 has the tune in the middle section - the dynamics reflect how to balance the sound to best effect.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.

LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE - GUITAR TRIO or LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This charming piece has become incredibly well-known in the UK as the theme tune to the TV series of the same name - one of the UK’s longest running comedies.The music elegantly captures the calm of country life and the simplicity of times gone by, and makes for a refreshing and accessible concert item whether you know the original music or not.In my arrangement, Guitar 1 and Guitar 2 take turns to play the tune - each part is clearly labelled - and the weaving motifs of the haunting melody are underpinned by an accompaniment that mirrors the rhythm and harmony of the original.Fingering for the upper parts is left to the players - some may want to stay up the neck throughout for a rich and mellow tone, others may feel more confident coming lower down the neck for the lower notes to keep the majority of them off the wire-wound strings.I hope you enjoy playing this piece!

THE GLORY OF LOVE (Peter Cetera) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensembleFor Classical or Acoustic GuitarDerek Hasted writes This power ballad makes a wonderful concert item for a Guitar Quartet or large ensemble - it has an impressively big sound. All the verses, choruses and breaks are present except the fade out, which is replaced by a defined end to the piece (so the audience knows when to applaud!)This arrangement sits somewhere between intermediate and advanced intermediate, with each of the parts having music in more than one voice from time to time to make a fuller sound.Everything is comfortable to play, and my transcription is based closely on the official video from Peter Cetera. I've changed the key slightly so the music fits the guitar neck better and the modulation in the reprise is in a familiar key for the players.The music rises and falls as the song progresses, making the dynamics happen almost automatically. But there are plenty of opportunities in the phrasing to make this ballad absolutely magical.This piece featured in the film Karate Kid II, so you can get your chops in, either on the guitar or in a Karate competition...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 (A0.1321422). TRUE COLORS (Cyndi Lauper)- Bb CLARINET & GUITAR duetDerek Hasted writes This charming and uplifting piece makes a wonderful concert item for all abilities of Clarinet and Guitar players from Early Intermediate upwards.Set in the same key as Cyndi Lauper’s original, everything is comfortable to play, and my transcription is based on the gentle simplicity found in her official video. The music mainly sits in the Chalumeau register of the Bb clarinet to give a wonderfully hollow sound, but there is a need to “cross the break� a few times in the refrains.The music rises and falls, making the dynamics happen almost automatically, and yet there are plenty of opportunities in the phrasing for a relaxed duo to make this piece absolutely magical.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.
