Product Description

JOHN DUNBAR'S THEME (Dances With Wolves) - 4 GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLE
Primarily for Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.

Derek Hasted writes "This theme, from the film 'Dances With Wolves' is widely admired as a charming and powerful melody.

It will make a wonderful item for a concert.

My arrangement is based on track 4 of the official Soundtrack CD. Its very slow, and lasts just over three and a half minutes - be sure not to rush this lovely piece and its haunting descant in the final Verse.

The key is just a semitone lower than the original, and two guitars are tuned to 6=D to give a rich deep bass that maximises the sustain that guitars can achieve.

Guitar 1 plays the part of the high descant in the original.
Guitar 2 is the tune, and if you have more than 4 players, there is an optional divisi part (Guitar 2a) that helps reinforce the beautiful melody.
Guitar 3 is arpeggio based, to help the sustain and to ease the counting of the beats.
Guitar 4 has thick chords which should be rolled (but not strummed) to add to the majesty of the music.

I hope you enjoy playing this piece!"
