By Dire Straits. By Mark Knopfler. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Film/TV,Pop. 17 pages. Derek Hasted #867221. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1275338).LOCAL HERO - WILD THEME - Student/Teacher GUITAR DUET
Primarily for Classical Guitar but also suitable for 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 in the ensemble 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.
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 (for student and teacher) comprises a melody line set in both score and score+tab and a teacher's accompaniment set in score only. The student line is early intermediate and the teacher's part is advanced intermediate.
A separate "performance version" (in which the workload is shared equally and there’s a truly effortless switching of parts in the middle), set in score-only for two advanced intermediate players.
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!
