Product Description

A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square - GUITAR QUARTET/LARGE ENSEMBLE
Derek Hasted writes "I first arranged this lovely tune for The Hampshire Guitar Orchestra, and my arrangement here produces a similar big sound from an intermediate guitar quartet.

School teachers will find this is an ideal piece for an end of semester concert, and adult quartets will find it makes a restful and easy-to-play interlude piece in a full-length concert. Being so well-known, this will be an audience pleaser!

The key changes in the original are really sublime and enjoyable, and the rounded guitar sound makes the journey to new keys a scenic ride wrapped in rich chords.

Like many of my arrangements, this is written to be accessible and fun, otherwise the music gets lost in a sea of technical worries. This uses familiar keys and positions to lock together quickly and reliably.

Theres no fingering or dynamics on this score - this is your chance to "make it yours!" - the tune stays with Guitar 1, but there are plenty of spots in the other parts which are "this is my moment" places - just do what makes the music sing.

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.
