SKU: A0.946865
By Calum Scott. By Calum Scott, Corey Sanders, and Jon Maguire. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Pop. 31 pages. Derek Hasted #552624. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.946865).For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.
Derek Hasted writes "This haunting piece, with the most amazing “build and fade away”, moves nicely from “voice and piano” to “guitar duet”. It will suit an intermediate duo.
There are two versions in this one edition - they contain the same material. One version is "tune and accompaniment", and is ideal for a Student/Teacher pairing, or a duo with an early intermediate and an intermediate player. The other version swaps roles halfway through, so the parts are both intermediate.
I’ve made a significant change to the key here, but that allows the guitar to produce a haunting first verse where a stopped B and an open B ring through each other to generate a smoothness of accompaniment that is sublime and mimics the reverberant piano of the original.
The arpeggio patterns here match closely those of the original piano too, giving verses 1 and 2 quite different texture. Sadly there is no orchestra and massed choir to build this version in the way that the original does, but the dynamics on the score tie in with the original song.
The guitar parts here are in “score and tab” and in “score alone” - there is no difference in the music, but the tab may help notation readers see how the opening section sits on the neck of the guitar.
I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
