Exceptional Classics for Flute & Guitar

Exceptional Classics for Flute & Guitar contains many well-known pieces that are requested at weddings and other celebrations, while others are just personal favorites of the authors, Robert Tarchara and Steve Tapper. "We originally created these arrangements for our own personal use…that we wanted to perform as a flute and guitar duo. In deciding which arrangements to include in this book, we have focused primarily on works which are not easily available in other flute and guitar collections. " Some of the works are easy-to-immediate level and can be easily sight read, while others are quite difficult and require rehearsal. Many of the arrangements have been faithful to the key, form and harmonic voicings of the original compositions, while others are flexible with regards to those elements. "Our intent was to create arrangements which maintain the spirit of the original composition, but feel and sound natural when played on flute and guitar". Whether you like a Chopin Nocturne, Beethoven Sonata, Sousa March or a good old fashioned Joplin Rag, have some fun at your next big event and play some of these fabulous arrangements published by Santorella Publications for flute & guitar.
