Century Spain. Par KOONCE FRANK. Scholarly editions, which serve different purposes than performance editions, are not often designed with the modern guitarist in mind. For instance, Renaissance vihuela tablatures are usually transcribed with the open first string as G, not E. Most are presented in double-staff notation, a medium that is superior for realizing counterpoint but unconventional as guitar notation. Furthermore, these editions sometimes give idealized, but not realistic, solutions for voicing, note duration, and other matters that need to be considered within the limitations of our instrument. Guitarists who try to play from these editions essentially are faced with the task of transcribing thetranscription!This 188-page anthology is designed as a companion volume to The Baroque Guitar in Spain and the New World (MB21122). It includes representative selections, edited for modern guitar, from the seven books for vihuela that were published in Spain between 1536 and 1576. As well as being fun and entertaining music for all to enjoy, these collections are intended to help bridge the gap between scholarly editions and performance editions by providing a hands-on introduction to tablature transcription and to issues concerning historically informed performance of early music on the guitar. * A 188-page anthology, edited for modern guitar, from the seven books for vihuela that were published in Spain between 1536 and 1576. * A companion volume to The Baroque Guitar in Spain and the New World (MB21122). * Intended to help bridge the gap between scholarly editions and performance editions. * An introduction to tablature transcription and to issues concerning historically informed performance of early music on the modern guitar.

The solos in this collection present a myriad of moods on the guitar. They were written to be very expressive contemplative pieces which could be performed in a variety of secular and sacred settings. Most of them are fromthree solo collections previously released entitled 'Guitar Meditations' (MB22029) 'Guitar Airs and Ballads' (MB22039) and 'Timeless Solos for Guitar' (MB22041). Some of the pieces were scored for 7-string guitar; however theycan also be performed on 6-string guitar?indicated are the alternate 6-string pedal tones in the tablature part. Many of the solos use a 'cross-picking' technique alternating higher position closed strings and open strings resulting in a ?harp-like? effect. The included tablature parts allow for a clear presentation of this effect and clarify where on the fingerboard these passages should be played. A number of the pieces are in Dropped D tuning highlighting the rich resonance that tuning gives the instrument. All of these solos may be performed by the classical or fingerstyle guitarist or as originally performed with a pick. Explore the diverse moods presented in thiscollection and make full use of the many avenues of expression offered in these pieces! A companion dual CD is available with all 25 solos included.
