Composed by Roger Quilter. Arranged by Frank Reifenstahl. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical. Score. 10 pages. Frank Reifenstahl #912943. Published by Frank Reifenstahl (A0.1324733).A friend of mine, classical and jazz singer, called my attention to Roger Quilters Shakespeare songs. I was immediately enthralled and haunted by the idea of setting the piano parts for guitar. So, here's the first of Quilter's five pieces. As is my wont I tried to stay as close as possible to the original piano score taking the liberty to pitch the piece down a semitone to a more comfortable E minor for guitar. And speaking of my guitar, I am used to a classical guitar with cutaway, thus you will find several sections beyond fret XII.
I guess the arrangement is challenging even for well advanced players, but worth the effort because arranging it I found it to match the guitars scope much better than I thought it would be. But I also started to prepare a version for less advanced/intermediate players, hoping to provide it within the next weeks here at ArrangeMe.
Well, enjoy yourself!
