Product Description

CAVATINA for SOPRANO/MEZZO and GUITAR
Best suited for Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar only.

Derek Hasted writes "The beautifully melodic "Cavatina" was made famous by John Williams, who arranged the piece for solo guitar and produced some effortless recordings of it.

Cleo Laine then produced a sublime song - "He Was Beautiful"

Why this arrangement?
Ive lowered the key by one tone which makes many of the chords sound more mellow and it now suits both mezzo and soprano voices - a range of an octave and a note, starting on sharpened Middle C.

In the guitar part, Ive fixed the ungainly jumps in the accompaniment bass line which came as a constraint of playing up the neck on solo guitar and Ive improved the connectivity of the middle voices from chord to chord so the chord changes sound more effortless and natural.

By virtue of the key change and careful use of enharmonic equivalents, the guitar part is now on familiar ground.

The guitar part is here in score and tab and in score alone - there is no difference in the music.

I also have versions for two guitars and for woodwind and guitar - to find them easily, visit my website (below) and look for my list of guitar duets and woodwind arrangements.

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.
