Product Description

DANGERFIELD THEME (Nigel Hess) - 3 GUITARS or LARGE ENSEMBLE

For Classical Guitar primarily - contains full score and parts

Derek Hasted writes "This is the charming TV Theme to the UK series Dangerfield. You may not know the music, but it definitely deserves to be more widely known.

It has hints of Bachs Prelude in C (from the 48) and the famous Prelude from the first Cello Suite too. By altering the key from the original two flats, it fits 3 guitars (or a larger ensemble) particularly well. Each part switches between busy arpeggios and lush harmonies and there are several key changes which together make the piece a delight to listen to and fun to play too.

The parts are intermediate in complexity, though the speed of the piece can be a challenge. However, the lush sound of the classical guitar means that the piece works well at a slightly slower tempo than the original orchestral version.

There is minimal fingering because there are multiple places on the neck where the top two parts can be played, and its best if players choose the positions that work best for them.

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.
