CINEMA PARADISO - LOVE THEME - for Bb CLARINET AND GUITARFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes "This fantastic theme, Tema D'Amore, was written as an integral part of the film Cinema Paradiso.
Ennio Morricone and his son Andrea rightly received a BAFTA award for the gorgeous soundtrack music.
My arrangement captures the four verses that feature in this piece - each verse maintains the same thematic material but the accompaniment becomes more involved and with a thicker texture, before the piece fades away again. The guitar accompaniment is styled on the piano solo score, but tailored here and there to fit the guitar like a glove.
The key here isnt the same as the original, but it allows the warmth of the clarinet's lower notes to blossom and allows for a guitar accompaniment that can use open strings to improve the sustain. Unlike other arrangements, this has plenty of space and few finger gymnastics, so the gentle movement of the original is easy to reproduce.
I also have an arrangement for two guitars which moves the melody between the guitars as the piece progresses.I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
