Although I am not a fan of Westerns, I did decide to go ahead and attempt an arrangement of the very famous theme song to the long-running Western series "Bonanza." I based my arrangement, however, on a version of the theme song in which Lorne Green (who played Benjamin Cartwright on the show) actually sings the lyrics. The show itself used an instrumental theme in a different key instead.
My arrangement is for piano, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar.

Original music composed by Ray Evans and Jay Livingstone, and orchestrated and arranged by David Rose and Billy May, respectively, for the show. It was ranked as one of the top 100 Western songs of all time.
