Tango Guitar Duets. Par GARDEL CARLOS. Gardel's tangos remain classics, which no performer who aspires to be taken seriously can ignore. For this album Argentinian Tango specialist Diego selected some of Gardel's most popular tangos and arranged them for two guitars. The timbre of this instrument is exceptionally well suited to evoking in sound the musical riches of an impoverished community of immigrants in Argentina's past, as well as to making the fascination and glamour of Gardel's tango music come alive again. Both parts are of medium difficulty, and the melodies repeatedly introduce new elements of tone production and rhythm, training young musicians in technique and ensemble playing. And, last but not least, these duets are an ideal introduction to the profound music of the tango, whose vitality and versatility are not only fun, but which also holds totally new means of expression in store. ? Captivating classics by Carlos Gardel selected and arranged by Argentinian Tango specialist Diego Collatti ? Experience the magnetic charms of the Tango with these intermediate-level arrangements ? Helpful musical notation ensures an authentic performance true to the diverse styles and nuances typical of the Tango/ Recueil / 2 Guitares

Par LE GARS MARC. Dans la continuité des Paysages Celtiques, cette série de recueils vous propose, cette fois, en duo de guitares, d'autres voyages en pays celtes. De thèmes traditionnels tirés de chansons, ballades ou airs de danse aux pièces originales illustrant terres de légendes, historiettes et autres souvenirs d'enfance, ces pages vous invitent à un voyage musical, des pays de Bretagne en Galice, de Cornouailles en Ecosse et du pays de Galles en Irlande... Muirsheen Durkin Cette chanson sur l'immigration irlandaise, au moment de la ruée vers l'or en Californie, est à l'instar du genre, tout à fait optimiste : So, good bye Muirsheen Durkin, I'm sick and tired of working No more I'll dig the praties, no longer I'll be poor Fore as sure as my name is Carney I'll be off to California, where instead of digging praties I'll be digging humps of gold (Alors, adieu Mr Muirsheen Durkin, je suis malade et fatigué de trimer Plus jamais je ne ramasserai de patates et ne serai pauvre Aussi vrai que je m'appelle Carney Je pars en Californie et, au lieu de patates je creuserai pour des pépites...) Bonnie Kellswater Kellswater est un petit hameau situé au nord de l'Irlande. Comme beaucoup de chansons d'immigrants, celle-ci raconte de manière poétique la nostalgie du pays, les fleurs, les collines, les rivières poissonneuses et l'éternelle abandonnée : For I love her as I love my Kellswater Like the primerose is loved by the bee (Car je l'aime comme j'aime mon Kellswater Autant que l'abeille aime la rose) Aparta Loureiro Verde Au moment de la semaine sainte, la tradition veut que des rameaux de laurier soient accrochés aux frontispices des églises. Ils ont le pouvoir, dit-on, de repousser les fortes averses. Outre le cépage qui fait la fierté de la Galice, Loureiro Verde est aussi une chanson traditionnelle dont est extrait cet air : Aparta loureiro verde Deixa clarexa la lùa Que estou no medio do monte Non. vexo cousa ningunha (Ecarte ton feuillage vert laurier Laisse apparaître la lune Car je suis en pleine montagne Et je n'y vois rien) Locquirec Le village de Locquirec est situé sur une presqu'île qui s'allonge dans la Baie de Lannion. De la pointe du village on a une vue magnifique sur toute une partie de la côte de granit rose. De l'île Millau à Plestin et de Trebeurden à Saint-Michel en grève... Traou ar ru Dans la vallée du Leguer, près de Tonquedec, il ya un petit village typique avec ses maisons du XVIIe siècle. Cette petite pièce non moins typique est dédiée à des amis qui habitaient là, au lieu-dit Traou Ar Ru. Trestraou C'est une grande plage de sable fin, à Perros-Guirec, située au beau milieu d'un paysage insolite. La terre et la mer y sont parsemées de rochers de granit rose aux formes incroyables, façonnés par l'eau et le vent... Mousteru Mousteru est un petit village situé près de Guingamp, dans les Côtes d'Armor. Mousteru vient du breton 'mouster' (moine) et 'ruz' (rouge). Le nom d'un 'monastère rouge' apparait en 1145. Easy and slow Cette ballade irlandaise a été immortalisée par Ronnie Dew, l'un des fondateurs des Dubliners. Un homme accompagne une jeune fille, le soir, dans la ville de Dungannon : And if ever you go to the town of Dungannon You can search till your eyeballs are empty or blind Be yeh lyin' or walkin' or sittin' or runnin' A girl like Annie, you never will find (Si jamais vous venez à Dungannon vous pourrez toujours chercher à en devenir aveugle Courir et marcher dans tous les sens Une fille comme Annie, jamais vous ne trouverez) Llongau Caernarfon Sur le quai du port de Caernarfon, dans le nord du Pays de Galles, un jeune garçon regarde les navires qui déploient leurs voiles. Il rêve de partir et d'apprendre le métier de marin : O na chawn I fynd yn llongwr A'r holl longau' nlhwytho yn yr harbwr ? (Pourquoi ne pourrais-je être marin Sur ce navire qui charge dans le port ?) / Niveau : 2ème Cycle / classique / Répertoire / 2 Guitares

Duets For Two Acoustic Guitars-The Christmas season has always been special to me. It is a season that has crystallized the hopes aspirations and faith of millions of people through the centuries. The amount of music written for Christmas is monumental.This book contains 14 scores from my Christmas Guitar Portraits recording. I selected various genres dear to me.First there are selections from the early American sacred song tradition. The Babe of Bethlehem Cherry Tree Carol A Star in the East The Shepherd's Star A Virgin Unspotted and I Wonder As I Wander all are from this rich heritage.I also picked a number of carols from theOld English genre. Away In The Manger Green Grow'th the Holly and What Child is This are included.Then there are the Christmas favourites. In the Bleak Mid-winter and a medley ofBaloo Lammy; The First Noel and Silent Night make any Christmas complete. Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence is one of my favourite Advent hymns. Gaudete Christus est natus is arousing carol dating back many centuries.Finally I included two originals. Lullay My Liking is an ancient carol text. Many composers over the centuries have written melodies to these lyrics most notably GustavHolst. I could not resist the temptation so the melody here is original. Finally Christmas Prayer is a new composition. I have always wanted to compose and arrange music designed to bring the Plectrum or Flatpick Guitarto the concert stage. These arrangements were written with that in mind.

Transposed to A minor, a more 'guitar friendly? key. Aside from the introduction, the coda, and some slight rhythmic and phrasing variations, Guitar 1 stays true to the original melody. With this arrangement comes a set of performance notes which offer conceptual and technical insights. / 2 Guitares

Par HAND FREDERIC. On an invitation to Greece by the guitar duo Evangelos and Liza, Hand brought along his new Odyssey as a gift. 'The title refers both to my trip to Greece and also to the way in which the musical ideas interact with each other and evolve throughout their long journey,' he says. The work also became the title track for his album, Odyssey, and is featured in a duet with fellow guitar master, David Leisner. 'The work alternates between lush, pulsating chords and lyrical melodic passages before arriving at a vigorously strummed climactic passage.' (from the album liner notes)/ Répertoire / 2 Guitares

Written in standard notation only.

Alexandre Lagoya once said: 'For one Guitar you can write what the Guitar will allow you to write. For two Guitars you can write what you choose.' While there is a measure of overstatement in this it remains true that themedium of two Guitars allows much greater creative freedom to the composer.There are many kinds of Guitar-duo works- at one extreme the very simple at the other the call for two virtuosi; those in this book inhabit themiddle of this spectrum. They are not in effect accompanied Guitar solos but equal duets in which two players of moderate technical ability converse with one another sharing the lead. This they do without sacrificing musicalinterest.Two of the pieces consist of variations on folk tunes - Shades of Green uses the Irish tune The Next Market Day while Varieties of Scotch is based on the well known Scottish tune YeBanks and Braes. The remaining duet is an affectionate nod in the ragtime direction of Scott Joplin. The two sets of variations are suitable for concert use and Joblinesque is a natural encore piece.
