Sometimes called "A Musical Joke", I've arranged an abridged version of the fourth movement of Mozart's suite for 3 guitars.
But if you live in the UK, you might know it better as being the basis of the theme to TV's "The Horse Of The Year Show".

See / hear / buyMy arrangements of Elton John's Basque (for flute and guitar and for guitars) are amongst my best sellers. And now I've added an arrangement for oboe and guitar.
The characteristically haunting, emotional, sound of the oboe is limited to a modest range of pitch, so my oboe arrangement is pitched in a different key. The guitar part is capo 2, so that the arpeggio shapes are accessible to those players of even quite modest ability, though more experienced players will enjoy the rich sound that comes from their guitar.

Here's one of the ten pieces we played in fusion's lunchtime concert at St Faith's Church Havant on May 25th - Adagio by Rolf Løvland
This arrangement - based on the Hampshire Guitar Orchestra's version, which audiences always enjoyed - is an intermediate quartet (also suits large ensemble). A toe-tapping crowd-pleaser, there's a funky bass-line to die for!
The soundclip features HAGO playing a snippet of this piece live in concert.

See / hear / buyThis arrangement can be played as an intermediate quartet (or large ensemble), but also comes with an optional descant line for a 5th guitar. The descant line mirrors the violin accompaniment in the film "Scent of a Woman" and can be played high up the neck (advanced intermediate) or on the main part of the neck (intermediate ability).

Not currently on sale ?My latest arrangement is the well-known traditional folk song . It makes a rumbustious concert item for an intermediate guitar trio or a large ensemble. With multiple verses arranged in different textures and shared between the players, there's something for everyone here, and at a bargain price too - the edition contains individual parts and a full score too.

My publisher has migrated all my music for sale to a new platform. The music's absolutely fine but some of the descriptions on the SheetMusicPlus website have become incorrect - changing Classical Guitar to Electric Guitar for instance (a known bug, it turns out, with no immediate fix).
Apologies - it's created a nightmare for me that I'm still working on so that the new site presents my works more accurately...
All the descriptions here on this site are correct, so it's best to view and purchase via my website rather than theirs!

Almost everyone knows this catchy Mexican Folk Tune, though not many know that it translates to "The Cockroach".
My arrangement for 3 guitars is ideal for a school concert or a whacky encore in a concert - it's easy to play, and the three parts are slightly different standards - from novice to intermediate.
