CHASING CARS (Snow Patrol) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensemble

CHASING CARS (Snow Patrol) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensembleFor classical or acoustic guitarsDerek Hasted writes "This is a very accessible arrangement of Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars”.I’ve used some arranging tricks, including sub-harmonics (a way to generate deep bass for minimal effort) to make a big wall of sound that a mixed ability ensemble (early intermediate to intermediate) can realize easily.The dynamics on the score marry up with the original official video, building in the choruses. If you play in a large ensemble, make sure to use the full dynamic range of your guitar so that collectively, the piece builds and decays the most it can.I have used some straightforward harmonics to make the journey up to the higher positions much easier and more reliable to achieve.There is an optional part for a bass guitar - the added depth and sustain make this piece yet more sublime, but with just guitars, this will be a bigger sound than you might expect.I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"This is one of a large and growing range of accessible ensembles from experienced arranger Derek Hasted, and is supplied as full score and parts. Derek's website at www.derek-hasted.co.uk/smp lists all his arrangements by title and by "number of instruments", with links to soundclips and sample score.
