THE VIRGINIAN (TV theme) - 2 Guitars or large ensemble

THE VIRGINIAN (TV theme) - 2 Guitars or large ensembleDerek Hasted writes "This inspiring TV theme makes a great concert piece for two guitars or indeed a large ensemble.The original is very short, but I've duplicated the main phrases and added an optional repeat to make a more substantial piece, and the surprisingly rich chord sequences and gentle modulations mean that the piece doesn't sound at all repetitive.I've provided two arrangements. One has a tune player and a chord player (perfect for a mixed ability duo, or a duo comprising an acoustic guitar and a classical guitar). The other arrangement swaps roles at each phrase, to give a real stereo effect. The notes are identical, so that in a large ensemble, one can even mix and match the two arrangements to suit a range of abilities.The chords are named as well as notated, and skilled players might like to experiment with shapes in higher positions. Bar repeats are used to minimise black on the page and make it easier to keep one's place in the music.The first arrangement will suit early intermediate to intermediate players. The second arrangement needs quick chord placement at each swapping place making both parts intermediate standard.I hope you enjoy playing this accessible and exhilarating 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.
