The work is one of the best-loved arias of all time. It has become iconic due to its use in TV, film, and advertising. Most recently, it is known as the soundtrack to a British Airways commercial.
The aria makes an ideal piece of repertoire for advanced-intermediate and professional guitarists. It is perfect for those playing gigs, in restaurants, at weddings and as a piece of popular repertoire in a recital.
My arrangement is inspired by one made by the fantastic guitarist and arranger Bridget Mermikides. I am grateful to Bridget follow allowing me to develop the arrangement to create something which is more suited to the advanced-level player.
