Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1407241
Composed by Michel Jean Legrand. Arranged by David Ritsema. Contemporary,Film/TV,Pop. 18 pages. David Ritsema #989932. Published by David Ritsema (A0.1407241).
This is a 4-part guitar adaptation of George N. Terry's piano arrangement of Michel Legrand's film music for "Summer Of '42." Terry’s piano arrangement opens in Fminor. I set it in Eminor – a more guitar-friendly key. By the 7th bar, the descending bass line required that Guitar 4 would need to be in Drop D tuning. I occasionally positioned the melody line at different octaves for better effect.
Chord voicing needed to be adapted to suit familiar chord shapes on the fretboard. Some of the key changes would be awkward reading for most guitarists, so the use of accidentals actually smoothed it over. Where helpful, I voiced chord shapes in enharmonic equivalents – rather than be true to the key signature. Finally, although not included in the conductor’s score, I thought it helpful to include an additional tab version for Guitar 2 to clarify chord shapes.
Just one performance note: At bar 3, Guitar 2 plays a downward strum, using the right index fingernail (no plectrum) for a crisp sound. Played as a slow strum it gives a more dramatic effect, and the player is encouraged to use the technique throughout.
