Ny repertoarsamling i tre volymer av Evert Taubes allra finaste visor med ackordanalys (enklare och mer avancerad) och gitarrarrangemang noterade i bade tabulatur och noter. Till manga av visorna finns aven separata soloarrangemang. I textkommentarer finns nagot om visornas tillkomsthistoria hamtat ur den senare Taubeforskningen samt tips om hur ackompanjemangen kan gestaltas pa gitarr.Nar Evert Taube debuterade pa 1920-talet var anvandandet av den s.k. svenska vis-lutan mycket vanligt och Taube trakterade den med bravur. Han hade god kanne-dom om den medeltida trubadurkonsten, vilket 1966 gav honom ett filo-so-fie hedersdoktorat vid Goteborgs universitet. For Evert Taube var den pro-ven-calska trubadurtraditionen hogst levande, en tradition som alla borde fa ta del av. Evert Taube hade ocksa en sallsynt kansla for textens poesi och att fa denna att ater-klinga i melodi och harmonik. I hans vispoesi ar varje versrad uppbyggd likt ett drama dar varje strof ar viktig och leder vidare till nagon form av poang. Likasa inbjuder visorna till nya harmoniska och speltekniska losningar i ackom-panjemangen genom baslinjer, ackord i olika omvandningar - terslage, kvintlage, och septimlage - liksom klangfarger och rytmer. Denna repertoarsamling syftar till att ateruppratta tidigare ackompanjemangs-traditioner och vidareutveckla dessa genom att utnyttja generalbas och kontra-punktiskt gitarrspel. Det innebar ett utvecklat spel efter ackordanalys, som ocksa utnyttjar modernare harmonier, rytmiseringar och improvisationer. Dessa nya frascha gitarrarrangemang riktar sig till alla Evert Taube-alskare, men ocksa till dem som annu inte upptackt hans stora visskatt.

Leo's Brouwer's Pictures At Another Exhibition, with a title that tips a hat to the Mussorgsky suite of 1874, is presented here for a chamber group of Piano, Horn and Violin. The Cuban composer has created a set of programmatic musical depictions inspired by six works of art ranging from Bosch's Garden Of Earthly Delights to Rauschenberg's Pop Construction. This set consists of six Piano scores, and may be performed in any order or combination. Ideal for chamber performances, or for a smaller ensemble as part of a larger concert, the pieces offer an unusual and exciting addition to any repertoire, and are brimming with the vitality and energy of Brouwer's Cuban origins. Movements are as follows: The Garden Of Earthly Delights: Hieronymus Bosch Portrait Du Chopin: Eugene Delacroix Los Desastres De La Guerra: Francisco Goya The Jungle: Wilfredo Lam Reclining Nude: Amadeo Modigliani Pop Construction: Robert Rauschenberg.
