Transcribed for Classical Guitar. Par MASCOTT PAUL. This book of 53 intermediate-level guitar pieces is derived from Le Secret des Muses, a two-volume collection of lute tablature by Nicolas Vallet (c. 1583 ? c. 1642). Born in France, by 1614 Vallet had relocated to Amsterdam where he established a dance school and was active as a composer, lute teacher and leader of a consort that played at weddings and festivals.Le Secret des Muses is among the last published collections of French lute tablature intended for the 10-course Renaissance lute, which was ultimately supplanted by the larger 13-course Baroque model. Most of these pieces consist of traditional European dance forms, but also contains a few settings of popular lute themes and longer works suitable for concert performance are included. Written in standard notation only with occasional drop-D tuning, these pieces make excellent sight-reading and warmup material as well as historically significant concert selections. / Date parution : 2021-11-03/ Recueil / Guitare

2003 Winner of the International GFA Competition-This Mel Bay DVD featuring 2003 GFA winner Jeremy Jouve was recorded live in September 2009 at Eybens a small town not far from the capital of the French Alps Grenoble where Jeremy was born. Over the past few years Jeremy'sconcert program has become oriented towards 20th century European music. With this particular concert Jeremy has endeavored to illustrate his interest in this music by performing works from four European composers of differentnationalities. The first composer Joaquin Rodrigo is famous the world over for his solo guitar works. Seldom performed they are little-known but deserve to be presented to a wider audience. For some time now Jeremy hasincluded in his repertory Rodrigo's music in homage to the rich and diverse Spanish culture. The Sonata Ommaggio a Boccherini fruit of the prolific collaboration that took place at the turn of the 20th century betweenthe Italian composer Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco and Andrès Segovia is performed here in the recently re-edited version which is much closer to the original manuscript. In the 2nd part of the concert the inspiration changes witha work by Benjamin Britten Nocturnal after John Dowland. The composer was a close friend of Julian Bream and here he offers a truly great musical masterpiece. A true psychodrama he takes us through the various emotionsencountered while sleeping exaltation with a Passacaglia leading to and finishing on John Dowland’s inspirational theme as dawn finally brings the reassuring light of day. Jouve concludes the recital with the Jazz Sonata bythe composer Dusan Bogdanovic who with great spirit explores the musical horizons of Jazz and music from his native Balkans. Finally an allusion to France with one of my Jouve's native country’s greatest popular singers ofthe 20th century Edith Piaf and her L ‘Hymne l’Amour with as a bonus Erik Satie’s first Gnossienne both arranged by Roland Dyens.

Par LAURO ANTONIO. Antonio Lauro is one of the most famous composers to come from Venezuela. He has written many works for orchestra, piano, choir, harpsichord, and guitar. He is most well-known for his guitar works, this being his main instrument. In the early 1980s he gave concerts in London and Paris at the request of John Williams and Paco Pena. The pieces represented in these guitar works are for players at a beginner-intermediate level, and in standard notation only. Continuing the 19th Century tradition of other composers of Venezuelan waltzes, Lauro named many of his pieces after people or places. 'El Marabino' is the name given to someone who comes from the city of Maracaibo. 'Angostura' is the original Spanish name of the city where Lauro was born. 'Carora' is the colonial city near Lauro's birthplace. The Venezuelan waltz differs from the European waltz in its rhythm which may alternate between 3/4 and 6/8 time and in its more syncopated style. The melodies are highly sentimental and romantic. / Niveau : Facile à Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Guitare

Par WEISS SILVIUS LEOPOLD. Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687 1750) is known to guitarists as the greatest baroque composer for the lute, yet most are only familiar with the earlier portion of Weiss?s prolific output found in the British Library in London. Inspired by a forty-year friendship with the late Douglas Alton Smith - a major figure in the scholarly study of the history of the lute - guitarist, composer, and head of the guitar program at Temple University in Philadelphia, Allen Krantz explored the Weiss manuscripts found in other European cities, particularly the Dresden editions which contain the fifteen sonatas that Weiss produced from the late 1730s to the end of his life. Transcriptions of three of those fifteen late sonatas are featured in this book in modern standard notation along with the original lute tablature as found in the Sächsische Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek, Dresden. While the baroque lute?s tuning makes some works awkward or impossible on the guitar, the three works presented here?Sonatas No. 35 in D minor, No. 42 in A minor and No. 45 in A Major? are in their original keys which happen to be guitar-friendly. The author?s generous and scholarly ?Preface? provides thorough historical and performance notes for the music in this volume. While just three of Weiss?s 109 multi-movement lute sonatas are represented here, the importance of this publication cannot be overstated. It contains some of the greatest music of a masterful lutenist? Weiss once faced-off with J. S. Bach on keyboards in a counterpoint improvisation contest?now made accessible to the modern classical guitarist. / Date parution : 2022-04-09/ Recueil / Guitare Classique

Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) was the most famous Irish composer of his time. His memorable melodies influenced both by European classical music and by ancient Gaelic harp traditions have remained popular through the centuries and lend themselves especially well to fingerstyle guitar. The arrangements in this volume are of intermediate difficulty and are a pleasure to play for guitarists of almost any skill level. There are a few well-known tunes here but most of the arrangements are O'Carolan 's lesser known works though they rank with his best music.
