Product Description

BEN (MICHAEL JACKSON) - FLUTE and GUITAR DUET
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.

Derek Hasted writes "If there was one piece of music that showed the true extent of Michael Jacksons musical prowess, it would surely be "Ben", sung faultlessly and with great maturity at such a tender age.

My arrangement for flute and guitar is in the same key as the original - F Major - a key which makes most guitarists go weak at the knees because of the need for endless tiring barrés coupled with a generally woolly sound. For my arrangement, I have tuned the guitars bottom string down to D and placed a capo on the 3rd fret, moving the guitar part into 2 sharps and giving the resultant key of F a resonant, open sound.

The combination of flute and guitar makes a wonderfully haunting and moving sound that an audience will most certainly enjoy.

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.
