Composed by Olafur Arnalds. Arranged by Derek Hasted. New Age,Pop. 10 pages. Derek Hasted #885849. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1295553).SAMAN - accessible, gentle piece for 2 GUITARS
Intended for classical guitar, though sometimes it gets listed erroneously under electric guitar.
Derek Hasted writes "Composed for piano in the key of 3 flats, this gentle piece has a timeless, ethereal sound.
There are a handful of arrangements for solo guitar using a Capo to recreate the original key, but it’s hard to recreate the spacious, effortless sound and pedal sustain of the piano.
My duet version places the piece in a different key, where the guitar breathes more easily, and the two players create a delightful stereo effect that makes the sound “bigger”. The difficult chords and stretches, the awkward sustains - they’ve all gone, and the result is an accessible duet that will delight audiences with its grace and smoothness.
I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
