Product Description

CAVATINA FOR 2 GUITARS... STUDENT/TEACHER VERSION - score and tab
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.

Derek Hasted writes "Youll be tempted to say "Oh, not another Cavatina arrangement", but read on...

The beautifully melodic "Cavatina" was made famous by John Williams, who arranged the piece for solo guitar and produced some effortless recordings of it. Audiences equate effortless with easy, but it can be a bit of a beast to play well.

Why this arrangement?

Ive lowered the key by one tone which makes many of the chords sound more mellow.

Ive fixed the ungainly jumps in the bass line which came as a constraint of playing up the neck on solo guitar.

Ive improved the connectivity of the middle voices from chord to chord so the chord changes sound more effortless and natural.

A side effect is that everything is easier and the sustain seems more effortless.

My duet arrangement comes in 2 formats...

This one (for student and teacher) comprises a melody line and an arpeggio accompaniment, set in both score and score+tab. The student line is early intermediate and the teacher's part is intermediate.

A separate "performance version" (in which the workload is shared equally and theres a truly effortless switching of parts in the middle), set in score-only for two intermediate players.

To find the other version easily, visit my website (below) and look for my list of guitar duets.

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.
