THE THORN BIRDS (TV theme) - GUITAR QUARTET/large ensemble
Derek Hasted writes "When The Thorn Birds appeared on TV in 1983, it quickly became the second-highest rated mini-series of all time in the US.
The glorious Theme Music by Henry Mancini is both charmingly simple and yet full of delicious key changes - we go from C to F to Bb to D to G. My arrangement for 4 guitars keeps to original keys and every player has a chance to play the lyrical melodies at some point in the piece.
I have placed simple dynamics on the score so that each player is aware of whether they have the melody or not as the phrases progress. My orchestration uses different textures to improve the dynamic range, and you may want to reinforce these volume changes with additional dynamic markings.
Guitar 3 has a couple of measures that are faithful to the original but a long way up the neck - there are alternatives marked on the score that might feel more secure.
Suitable for a large ensemble too, the chance to make even bigger volume changes in a larger wall of sound will make this a piece that delights audiences.
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.
