Guitar - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1281892 By Various. By Traditional English. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Christmas,Traditional. 12 pages. Derek Hasted #873244. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1281892). 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 “yoursâ€.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. 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.
