Sloop John Bach - Guitar Trio

So what would have happened if Johann Sebastian Bach had written Folk Songs? Let's find out!

Here's a fun piece for players and audience alike - the Bahamian Folk Song "Sloop John B" sitting on top of Bach's iconic accompaniment to "Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring". To be honest, both got a bit damaged in the re-assembly, but both are definitely recognizable.

The top two parts take it in turns to have the tune and the accompaniment, and they're suitable for early intermediate players - more skilled players will be able to crank the speed up a little bit..

Guitar 3 is supplied in both treble and bass clefs - in a larger ensemble, you can use one or both in your ensemble. And it’s ideal for those with limited experience of guitar.
