BLUE MOON - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensemble
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar
Derek Hasted writes "Over the years, this piece has been arranged in so many styles.
I’ve taken my inspiration from Laurindo Almeida’s Solo Guitar arrangement, which has some lovely and interesting chords and a lot of movement in the inner voice. But having just one guitar means that the inner voice sometimes runs out of steam, and the bass voice jumps around from one octave to another. It always left me feeling there was a bit more music to be had amongst the notes.
My arrangement, for 4 intermediate players (some of the parts are a little easier) is in a different key entirely. Spreading the workload allows a little more action to go on under the tune.
Guitar 4 is 6=D, and it’s also supplied in bass clef (for a normally tuned contra guitar or similar). Either or both lines can be played.
Although this can be played in swing (shuffle) rhythm, a straight rhythm allows a more relaxed and romantic feel to the piece, but feel free to try either...
I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
