Published by DanJonesGuitarist (A0.1408429). Habanera (L'amour est un oiseau rebelle)by Georges Bizet. Arranged for Four Guitars by Dan Joneswww.danjonesguitarist.comI have provided a score with notes and TAB, a score with notes only (to facilitate directors' page turns) and all parts with notes and TAB or just notes.L'amour est un oiseau rebelle (Love is a rebellious Bird) or Habanera is one of opera's most popular arias. The melody was actually written by the Spanish musician Sebastián Iradier. Bizet mistakenly believed it to be a folk melody but was quick to credit the original author upon being informed of its origin.  Iradier had a gift for creating popular melodies as he also wrote the beautiful La Paloma. This arrangement employs a variety of timbres and the full range of the instruments. Guitars 3 & 4 are tuned to D and Guitar 1 has the option of playing up to a high A (fret 17), although this passage is equally effective played an octave lower (see note in score). I have provided a score with notes and TAB, a score with notes only (to facilitate directors' page turns) and all parts with notes and TAB or just notes. A video performance of this arrangement is available on YouTube or at www.danjonesguitarist.comFor a huge range of writings, arrangements, compositions and much more, for guitarists of all levels of experience, please visit www.danjonesguitarist.comI hope you enjoy playing Habanera as much as I have enjoyed arranging and performing it.
