Product Description

THE LONELY SHEPHERD (Kill Bill) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensemble

For Classical or Acoustic Guitar

Derek Hasted writes "This charming instrumental might be known to you from Quentin Tarantinos Kill Bill, or from the moving version by André Rieu, featuring Pan Pipes.

Or maybe this is the first time youve come across this haunting melody, set above a bubbling accompaniment.

My arrangement will suit a mixed ability guitar quartet or a larger ensemble. Guitars 3 and 4 are early intermediate, and Guitars 1 and 2 are intermediate.

Note : I have also published a version for 3 guitars or larger ensemble in which all the parts are intermediate - find it easily from my website (below)

Guitar 4 is tuned to 6=D to add depth to the D minor chords. Theres also a Guitar 4 part set in bass clef for deeper guitars - here the tuning is normal, and towards the end the bass is taken up an octave for variation, without getting tangled in the accompaniment parts. Either or both Guitar 4 parts can be used in a large ensemble.

This is an ideal concert piece that many in the audience will recognise.

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.
