Guitar,Instrumental Duet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.797784 By Pamela Page. By Charles Williams and Cheri Williams. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Contemporary,Film/TV. 15 pages. Derek Hasted #5792127. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.797784). THE DREAM OF OLWEN - One of two GUITAR DUETSFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes "I have made two arrangements of this lovely piece. This edition is my more complex 'advanced intermediate' arrangement which adheres closely to the piano original both in the many dynamic markings and in the changes of rhythm in the accompaniment. Visit my website (below) to easily find the other version.This fantastic piece was written as an integral part of the film "While I Live", and such is the power and emotion in the music, it has achieved a recognition that has far outlasted the film.My arrangement for two guitars captures all of the original, fiendishly difficult, piano composition, but uses the sweet tone of the guitar to add quality, rather than quantity, to the notes, creating a soundscape that works effectively and makes a piece lasting almost 4 minutes.The centre section has a simpler accompaniment than the original to avoid an overly fussy and unsatisfactory sound. Elsewhere the accompaniment retains much of the original but tailored to the sweet sound of the guitar.The arpeggios are fingered because they generally only work well in one position. The melody, by contrast, is unfingered; it is chromatic and so there is no place on the neck where all the notes are accessible. It’s really a matter of personal choice where you change position and whether you prefer to stay high up the neck for vibrato or venture down to get a punchier, brighter tone in the loud sections.I hope you enjoy playing this piece!Dedicated to the memory of my maternal grandmother Olwen" 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.
