AGAINST ALL ODDS (Take A Look At Me Now) - FLUTE & GUITAR duet

AGAINST ALL ODDS (Take A Look At Me Now) - FLUTE & GUITAR duetDerek Hasted writes "My arrangement of this slow and rather unusual piece captures the interesting choices of chords which make the piece so instantly recognisable.The tune is syncopated, but a little rubato is just as effective as a completely precise rendition.The dynamics that I’ve added are really just a pointer to the way in which the original builds and then fades - feel free to change or add to them...For the guitar, there is limited fingering, but there’s some advantage to minimising the top open E string as it tends to cut through a little. At the same time, you might find that the open strings ease the movement up and down the fingerboard, so please choose the fingering that works for you.The original has 2 sections in which the Time Signature changes and there is a short and punchy drum break spanning 2 bars. I have written a bass break to match the drum rhythm. As alternatives you can tap the front of the guitar (or the wing of the bridge) with the side of your thumb to mimic the drum - see the X-headed notes - or you can simply omit the two bars. Just pick the one your duo feels works best for you.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.
