LOCAL HERO - WILD THEME - 2 GUITARS Performance Version
Primarily for classical guitar but also suits acoustic or electric guitars.
Derek Hasted writes "Rightly described as an astonishingly beautiful piece, this music from the film Local Hero actually features twice on the soundtrack album, in different keys with different solo instruments.
My arrangement for classical guitar exploits the soft tones of the nylon strings and works well at a slightly more modest pace compared to the original. I’ve taken the theme from the closing soundtrack version, where the melody is clear and powerful. Each player takes the lead part in turn, and my arrangement includes one or two little bits of Mark Knopfler’s quasi-improvised variations on the tune.
There’s left hand fingering in a few places where the accompaniment is only comfortable in one position. There are no dynamics, but the changing texture of the accompaniment creates the illusion of dynamic changes and you are welcome to add phrasing and dynamics to make the performance “yours”.
This enjoyable concert item has a wonderfully captivating melody that the audience will be humming all the way home...
My duet arrangement comes in 2 formats...
This one is a "performance version" (in which the workload is shared equally and there’s an effortless switching of parts in the middle), set in score only, for two advanced intermediate players.
A separate arrangement (for student and teacher) comprises a student melody line (set in score and score+tab) and an arpeggio teacher's accompaniment, set in score only.
The student line is early intermediate, and the teacher's part is advanced intermediate.
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!
