Back by popular demand, my arrangement is re-published with updated copyright permission.
The Hampshire Guitar Orchestra used to open some of its concerts with this piece, and it’s a great piece for an audience of non-guitarists, drawing them in to the world of music that doesn’t fit well on a single guitar. It’s ideal for a school concert but would also suit an adult ensemble with modest experience.
Set in swing time, there’s just one little piece of percussion where there are three sharp raps to the front of the guitar - take this on the wing of the bridge and there’s no change of marking the soft wood of the front.
School Teachers - you could consider splitting Guitar 3 into two single melodic lines - some players playing stems up and some playing stems down, and then this piece will suit players from almost complete beginners upwards.
