Product Description

"Going Home" is an instrumental rock track by Mark Knopfler, and the closing track from the 1983 film 'Local Hero'. It was the debut solo single by Knopfler and charted at number 56 in the UK, number 26 in the Netherlands and 18 in New Zealand. Despite its rather modest chart position in Knopfler's native UK, "Going Home" remains one of the artist's most popular songs. A supergroup, referred to as Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes, recorded "Going Home" to support the Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America. The recording, released 15 March 2024, was Jeff Beck's final recording before his death. Due to the film's Scottish setting, it has become popular amongst bagpipe players to perform this melody and a part for bagpipes has been included in this arrangement (a B flat chanter may be required to help with tuning to the ensemble) but it can be performed without.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
