Product Description

AFRICA (Toto) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensemble
Written for classical guitar, also suits acoustic or electric guitar

Derek Hasted writes "I wanted to make this fantastic piece accessible to as many guitarists as I could. To do that, Ive moved the key down one tone to make the keys in this piece familiar ones. My arrangement will suit a mixed ability ensemble from early intermediate to intermediate. 

Guitar 4 has the bottom string tuned down to D, and theres a bass clef version of the same line to suit a normally tuned bass guitar or upright bass. You can have one or both lines in your performance.

Ive deleted a tiny piece of repetition near the end - the words change in the original but the music doesnt - as an instrumental there was too much of the same phrase! The piece finishes with a final chord instead of a fade to nothing, as it works so much better in concert.

The resulting piece still runs for four and a half minutes. Theres a set of repeat marks so that the music will fit on a normal music stand without page turns.

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.
