I have been meaning to upload these for some time now but my Guitar Orchestra’s keep playing through all my arrangements and I end up writing more and more – so here is something fun to share! I taught a Guitar Orchestra who loved the music from Pirates of The Caribbean. So I took many of the themes from all three films and put the following movements together to form a Pirates Suite. If you would like a copy of these arrangements send me an email and I will be happy to pass them along (I need to do this for copyright reasons).

Firstly, you will need to install Sibelius Scorch.
Secondly, use Firefox (it works better) – If you use Safari or Chrome, ‘right-click’ and ‘open links in new tab’
. Remember Safari needs to be opened in 32-Bit Mode to run any Scorch Files (see below).

Enjoy the movements below and don’t forget to view more guitar ensemble arrangements here.
