By Bing Crosby. By Irving Berlin. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Christmas. 20 pages. Derek Hasted #897932. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1308692).WHITE CHRISTMAS - 4 GUITARS (+optional bass)
Primarily for classical or acoustic guitar, but sometimes listed under electric guitar
Derek Hasted writes "My arrangement of this now-timeless classic is accessible to quartets and large ensembles of all abilities from “early intermediate” upwards. Ideal for school concerts or adult Christmas celebrations.
Unlike many arrangements it includes Irving Berlin’s original introduction (but you can start at Letter B if you want to omit it).
There are no page turns in the part scores.
Guitar 4 has a few double stops and is in treble clef but also (with no double stopping) in bass clef for a deeper sound. You can include both parts if you want!
There is minimal fingering because most of the piece can be played in first position (to suit an ensemble with limited experience) or higher up the neck (for a rounder tone to suit a more experienced group).
Please add dynamics and phrasing to make the performance “yours”.
I hope you enjoy playing this piece!
