Guitar Ensemble Guitar - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.799274 Composed by Barry Stoller. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Contemporary,Film/TV. Score and parts. 24 pages. Derek Hasted #5224117. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.799274). MATCH OF THE DAY THEME - 4 GUITARS or LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes Both my adult ensemble groups have played this in concert and it’s a lot of fun! It's known to UK audiences as the theme music to the TV program Match Of The Day.This version includes the uplifting key-change in the middle of the piece and if the upper three parts play outside of first position, then it’s a simple two-fret shift and no change to the left hand fingering at all!The X-headed notes are golpé strokes - but on a Classical Guitar with no scratch-protection to the front, it’s best to tap the side-panel of the bridge with the side of the thumb - it gives a great drum sound and the wood is hard and won’t mark.The metronome mark ties in with the speed of the original, but if the fast sections are a little too cumbersome for Guitar One, simply drop the pace a little. Since most of the notes are the same length, it works at almost any speed.I hope you enjoy performing this!
