OVER THE WAVES - GUITAR DUETFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.There is also a version for Flute and Guitar published separatelyThis is the tune that everyone has heard, and no-one knows its name... It makes it perfect for concerts!
Derek Hasted writes "Its featured in Octopussy and Mary Poppins, its been on Sesame Street, its famous for being "Trapeze Music" in circus scenes. You might even recognise it from a Chet Atkins guitar record, on which this arrangement is styled.
This arrangement is based on one I wrote for my
Guitar Workshop - it's really easy to play...
There are two versions of the Part Score in this edition...
Version 1 is ideal for a Student/Teacher duet - the Teacher plays the chords, and the student takes the tune.
Version 2 is great for a performance at any level between two players with comparable tone and volume - its written as a Call & Response version, which, just like the circus trapeze artists, move from left to right, crossing over in mid-air...
I always keep fingering to a minimum, but skilled players will find the melody line fits almost perfectly into VII position.
I hope you enjoy playing this piece"
