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! 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.

HARD TO SAY I'M SORRY (Chicago)- 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 a big sound for surprisingly little difficulty.My quartet has parts that increase slightly in complexity from bass to tune, so there’s something for everyone here. The bass line is supplied in both treble and bass clefs, and the two parts are identical, so for a large ensemble, you can have one or the other or both in your performance.Everything is comfortable to play, and my transcription is based closely on the official video from Chicago. I have changed the key very slightly so that the deep bass notes fit on the guitar’s bottom strings and the tune is placed comfortably on the neck. There are no page turns in the part score.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 piece  absolutely magical.The breathtaking key-change of the original is included!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.

LOVE STORY (Taylor Swift) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensembleFor Classical or Acoustic GuitarDerek Hasted writes This is a very accessible arrangement of the Taylor Swift original from 2008, in the same two keys as the original.The sul ponti markings reflect the banjo in the original, and there’s also a little pizzicato at the start and between the verses.The original concludes with just Taylor Swift singing on her own - if you want to create the same effect, just ignore the final notes (in parentheses). But if, in the spirit of a team performance, you all want to get to the finishing line together, just play the optional notes at the end.In a large ensemble, you will be able to get some particularly exciting crescendi, but even a quartet will be able to enjoy the large dynamic range of this song.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.

CHI MAI (Ennio Morricone) - FLUTE and GUITAR DUETFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This charming piece, by Ennio Morricone, has found fame in the films Maddalena and Le Professionnel, and on television in An Englishman's Castle and The Life and Times of David Lloyd George. In the UK it reached number 2 in the Singles Chart.I have also made arrangements for 2 and 3 guitars (or large ensemble), - visit my website (below) to find it easily.My arrangement uses the guitar's sixth string tuned down to D so that the bass line can drop down at the point the original builds in orchestration. The arpeggios are not as complex as the original version, but the result fits the guitar so much better and sounds both unforced and natural.The flute part is kept low to avoid the shrillness that comes in the upper registers. I hope you enjoy this gentle, restful piece; I am sure your audiences will too!

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER - fun arrangement for Guitar Trio or larger ensembleFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes What happens when some players would rather play Jingle Bells?My arrangement of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer is a little bit of fun - every time the tune pauses for breath, the lower guitar parts try to play Jingle Bells. But the tune always wins and makes a charming little concert piece that will reward the players with chuckles and smiles from the audience.The introduction (which is not always heard on some arrangements) is in straight timing, but the piece gathers speed and moves to swing rhythm for the rest of the song. The slurs improve the flow of the piece; the dynamics make sure the effects work out fine and that the ending is that little bit more impressive.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.

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.

Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1295553). 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.

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!

ONE LAST WISH (from Casper) - 3 GUITARS or LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical Guitar - also suits Acoustic GuitarDerek Hasted writes A haunting melody (pardon the pun!) is interspersed with lush & uplifting phrases and exotic chromatic passages. It’s an unusual and delightful piece that makes a refreshing and unexpected concert item.Guitar 3 is tuned to 6=D.I’ve fingered some of the more complex chord shapes, mainly as an aide-memoire, because the key signature and the accidentals combine to make some of the chords hard to read - for example there are F major and F# minor arpeggios looking (at first sight) identical on the page. Some of the more complex chromatic movement is actually gloriously straightforward because of the way I’ve arranged the music to use shapes that slide down the neck. Here and there I’ve chosen enharmonic equivalents to make the music easier on the eye.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.

WOMAN (Lennon) - GUITAR QUARTETFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This arrangement (for 4 guitars or large ensemble) is based on my arrangement of Woman for Hampshire Guitar Orchestra. I have raised the pitch so that we can use the full three octaves of the neck for a big, open sound. Guitar 2 plays with a Capo on the second fret to make the chords more straightforward and easier to play cleanly and securely. This is a great crowd-pleaser for an intermediate ensemble; the parts vary slightly in complexity, making it suitable for mixed ability school ensembles as well as an adult ensemble. It's one of an increasing number of popular arrangements I've made for 4 guitars, and these are being played worldwide.I hope you enjoy playing this piece!

BARNACLE BILL (Blue Peter TV Theme)  - 4 GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This theme, from the UK BBC TV Children’s Programme “Blue Peter” has instant appeal to anyone who has watched that show. It makes a wonderful item for a concert, with a Rondo form and a spirited feel that’s easy to lock together.The TV show has tried different versions over the years, including one by Mike Oldfield, but my arrangement is based the full-length version as played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.I’ve changed the key to D major so that everything fits on the neck of the guitar and uses familiar notes.Guitar 4 is tuned to 6=D to add more depth. An alternative Guitar 4 part in bass clef is also supplied, and here normal tuning is used.The original theme is fast. To be honest, it’s very fast indeed. But it works just fine on guitar when played a little slower.The standard is intermediate when played at a modest speed, but Guitar 1 will need an advanced intermediate player if the tempo is pushed upwards.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 (A0.1383550). 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.
