By Various. By Arcangelo Corelli. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Baroque,Christmas. Score and Parts. 13 pages. Derek Hasted #860511. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1267958).
The Adagio from Corelli's Christmas Concerto - for 3 Guitars
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.
Derek Hasted writes "This is perhaps the most well-known movement of Arcangelo Corelli’s Op 6 No 8 “Christmas Concerto”.
I have changed the key from Eb Major to G major. As well as making the piece accessible to less experienced guitarists, it means that bottom notes of Guitar 3 match the bottom notes on original ’cello part.
I’ve based my transcription on the Augener score (which has few dynamics), and I’ve left the choice of fingering to the players - an experienced trio can play much of the music in seventh position, whereas a less experienced trio will find much can be played in first position. Because the sustain of the original strings cannot be matched on the guitar, you might like to experiment with your own choice of volume and tone variations to make the music come alive for your ensemble.
I‘ve published separately the complete 6-movement Concerto which is a little more demanding. You will be able to find it on my website (see below).
I hope you enjoy playing this arrangement - it was a favourite Christmas item when I used to run the Hampshire Guitar Workshop.
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.
