Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1273819 By Dire Straits. By Mark Knopfler. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Film/TV,Pop. 17 pages. Derek Hasted #865947. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1273819). LOCAL HERO - WILD THEME - 3 GUITARS or LARGE ENSEMBLE For Classical Guitar primarily - but also suits Acoustic Guitar or Electric GuitarDerek Hasted writes Rightly described as an astonishingly beautiful piece, this music from the film Local Hero actually features twice on the soundtrack album, in different keys with different solo instruments.My arrangement for classical guitar exploits the soft tones of the nylon strings and works well at a slightly more modest pace compared to the original. I’ve taken the theme from the closing soundtrack version, where the melody is clear and powerful. Each player in the ensemble takes the lead part in turn, and my arrangement includes one or two little bits of Mark Knopfler’s quasi-improvised variations on the tune.This enjoyable concert item has a wonderfully captivating melody that the audience will be humming all the way home... 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.
