Par MYCHAL GENDRON. This volume contains some of the most popular traditional carols, arranged for flute and guitar. Most of these duet arrangements allow as much dialogue and interplay between the two instruments as possible, while maintaining each carol's character and spirit. While the flute often carries the melody, the guitar has frequent solo passages of its own to help break the 'melody with chords' monotony found in many arrangements of this kind. Modulations, imitative counterpoint and quotations from works by well-known composers will, hopefully, make these little pieces enjoyable for performers as well as listeners. For intermediate level flutists and guitarists. Standard notation only. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Christmas - Chamber / Recueil / Guitare et Flûte Traversière

The selections include universal favorites, some tunes which are popular in their native lands and reasonably well-known elsewhere, and others which are unfamiliar even in their homelands. Some familiar texts, including 'Away in a Manger' and 'Angels from the Realms of Glory,' have been set to different tunes. Notes on the origin of each tune are included. Written in notation and tablature. The companion CD features performances of all of the tunes, with some grouped into medleys. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Christmas - Solos / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures
