This is a download pack of sheet music, lyrics and a midi file which will help you make a folk band arrangement of the traditional song "Matty Groves".

I've made an example recording of the sort of thing you can do with it, which is also included in the download.

There's also a "karaoke" version - just the backing without the vocal, for singers to use in the absence of a band.

WHAT YOU GET:
-----------------------

PDFs:

* Vocal harmony part
* Newly composed simple instrumental intro / riff, with a melody and harmony part
* Scored piano accompaniment
* Chords
* Lyrics
* Instrumental and bass part accompaniments to played alongside vocal line
* Instrumental "show-off" parts for more advanced players to use as solos over both the riff and verse sections

AUDIO:

* Demo recording as heard above
* Backing track - the demo recording without the vocals, for singers to use if they have no musicians to play with

OTHER:

* MIDI file
* Example form scheme

SCORES INCLUDED:
------------------------------

You'll receive one pdf file that has all the different parts, as follows:

* Full Score
* Lead (riff melody, vocal melody, chord symbols)
* Piano + Lead (piano part plus the Lead score on small staves)
* Piano on its own
* Vocals (melody and harmony together)
* Instrument 1
* Instrument 2
* Instrumental Solos
* Bass
* Instruments 1+2, Solos and Bass all on one page (for ease of arrangement in smaller groups)

I also include a lyric sheet, and my arrangement's form scheme as an example - but you can arrange it however you like!

Please note: if you are using the Bandcamp app (e.g. on a mobile or tablet) you will not be able to see the pdf files - these must be downloaded onto a laptop or desktop computer via a link sent by email before you can use them. (This is a limitation of some mobile/tablet devices, not a problem with your download!)
