Isle Of Capri by Frank Sinatra Guitar Ensemble - Digital Sheet Music

ISLE OF CAPRI - 5 GUITARS (or 4 + bass)/LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes "This arrangement has a beguine-like beat - more like the original recordings than the rather laid-back rubato style of Frank Sinatra’s famous version.And there’s variety in this arrangement too - a brief interlude in tango-style expands the piece to a nice length for an informal concert.The piece suits 5 guitars or 4 guitars plus a bass instrument - reading from either treble or bass clef. A large ensemble will, of course, make a bigger and more compelling sound, and it’s fine to double up the bass instrument with a fifth guitar part. It is ideal for a mixed ability group - the lower parts can all be played in first position whereas the upper two parts reside up the neck.This arrangement is based on a version that was played in concert by the Hampshire Guitar Orchestra - it’s pretty much guaranteed to get feet tapping in the audience...I hope you enjoy 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.
