Product Description

CASEY JONES - 6 GUITARS or LARGE ENSEMBLE
The Ballad of Casey Jones - most famously used as the Theme Music to the TV series "Casey Jones".

Derek Hasted writes "This is a great piece for six or more guitars, especially for those with limited experience of playing in ensemble.

Schoolteachers - this is ideal for a school ensemble of mixed ability players, as there are parts from 'very much a novice' up to "intermediate" (which the teacher can help support).

My arrangement sets out to make classical guitars sound like a steam locomotive - I hope you find that it works better than you imagined!

The slow introduction and the gathering speed doesnt require a collective accelerando, its all done in the writing - the metronome mark stays the same.

Be sure to accent the beats where shown, and keep that pulsing accent rippling through the entire piece.

Guitar 6 requires the bottom string tuned down to D - as this is the line suited to those with the least experience, you might want to mark up the fret numbers for the bass notes below the open A - they are all two frets higher than they normally are.

This piece has featured in concerts played by The Hampshire Guitar Orchestra, and its always gone down well.

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.
