Product Description

LET IT BE (The Beatles) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensemble

Derek Hasted writes "This is a very accessible arrangement of the Beatles' classic Let It Be, and is suitable for an intermediate guitar quartet or large ensemble.

My arrangement follows the structure and such of the orchestration of their re-mastered version, including the electric guitar break. Ive lowered the pitch a little to make much better use of the full range of the guitar neck for the accompaniment lines.

Ive marked Guitar 1 Rubato to match the fact that Paul McCartney sings with a relaxed rhythm against the fixed beat of the accompaniment.

Guitar 4 is supplied in Treble clef (with the sixth string tuned down to D) and also for a conventional bass guitar or double bass in normal tuning. A few of the notes in the bass clef version are written 8va as they will fit on an octave or electric bass but are too high for an upright bass.

Please feel free to add your own dynamics to make the piece come alive and make it yours.

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.
