Cinema Paradiso - Ennio Morricone
The sad news that Ennio Morricone has passed away means I've bubbled this post back to the top of my news...
With bittersweet timing, I completed two arrangements of his Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso less than three weeks ago. With the passing of Ennio Morricone, my arrangements have been snapped up and there's a warm feeling in my heart that all over the world the memory of his powerful music is being kept alive...
The Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso rightly won a BAFTA award - it is a moving and passionate melody underpinned with gentle but slowly building chords and arpeggios.
I've written two different arrangements - which one suits you? You can see and hear more in the links below...
Summer Holiday (Cliff Richard)
This piece has closed my Guitar Workshop Summer Charity Concert since the first concert in 1999. It reminds us that as the Summer Term closes, so it is, indeed, time for a Summer Holiday. Here in the UK, the easing of the 2020 Coronavirus Lockdown suggests that maybe we can indeed go on a summer holiday this year after all. And what a fun piece this is to capture that mood...
It suits an Early Intermediate quartet or a large ensemble - ideal for School Concert or informal Adult concert!

Octopus's Garden - The Beatles
What a gem this is - a ragtime, almost bluegrass, accompaniment underpins the bouncy and cheeky tune and this makes for a full length concert piece without page-turns.

Dream Of Olwen
You may not be familiar with this Film Theme written by Charles Williams (he of the Dick Barton Theme Tune), but it is a moving and passionate melody underpinned with wonderful chord sequences.

The James Bond Theme
This very atmospheric and instantly recognisable piece fits 3 guitars well; my arrangement locks together more tightly than some of the other 4-part arrangements for sale elsewhere and works well with a large mixed ability group.
It suits an Early Intermediate trio or a large ensemble - ideal for School Concert or informal Adult concert!
