Composed by Traditional Japanese Melody. Arranged by Dan Jones www.danjonesguitarist.com. Instructional,World. Score and parts. 17 pages. DanJonesGuitarist #6672583. Published by DanJonesGuitarist (A0.851208).Sakura (sometimes ‘Sakura, Sakura') is a beautiful yet simple Japanese, traditional song. This arrangement is part of a new series which is specially designed for classroom music teachers. The arrangement is very flexible to suit the abilities and resources available to each individual group and their teacher.
The instrumentation is:
(1) The melody for C instruments (such as flute)
(2) An easy part for C instruments
(3) The same melody for B flat instruments
(4) The same easy part for B flat instruments
(5) The same melody for E flat instruments
(6) The same easy part for E flat instruments
(7) A single-line percussion part
(8) A piano part which could be played by a pupil (approximately ABRSM Grade 3) or teacher
(9) A ukulele part with chords, the melody and TAB
(10) A guitar part with chords, the melody and TAB
(11) A bass part in notes and TAB. This part could also be played by a cello, bassoon or any low-range instrument
(12) The melody written in a higher octave for more-advanced players (approx. ABRSM Grade 3-4).
In the absence of some of the above, the arrangement is still effective due to the doubling of the melody. The bass part can also be omitted as the piano plays appropriate root notes, and the guitar plays chords.
A YouTube video with a demonstration video and audio track will be available at www.danjonesguitarist.com and on YouTube. The link will be published at sheetmusicplus.com soon.
I hope that you find this arrangement useful. If you have suggestions for other pieces and melodies, please do contact me at www.danjonesguitarist.com.
