Adam Granger self-published the first edition of Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar in 1979. A second edition was published in 1994. Now Mel Bay Publications presents the third edition of the book.
This 236-page book is the most extensive and best-documented collection of fiddle tunes for the flatpicking guitar player in existence, and includes reels, hoedowns, hornpipes, rags, breakdowns, jigs and slip-jigs, presented in Southern, Northern, Irish, Canadian, Texas and Old-time styles.
There are 508 fiddle tunes referenced under 2500 titles and alternate titles. The titles are fully indexed, making the book doubly valuable as a reference book and a source book.
In this new edition, all tunes are typeset, instead of being handwritten as they were in the previous editions, making the tabs easier to read.
The tunes in Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are presented in Easytab, a streamlined tablature notation system designed by Adam specifically for fiddle tunes.
The book comes with a link which gives access to mp3 recordings by Adam of all 508 tunes, each played once at a moderate tempo, with rhythm on one channel and lead on the other.
Also included in Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are instructions for reading Easytab, descriptions of tune types presented in the book, and primers on traditional flatpicking and rhythm guitar. Additionally, there are sections on timing, ornamentation, technique, and fingering, as well as information on tune sources and a history of the collection.
Mel Bay also offers The Granger Collection, by Bill Nicholson, the same 508 tunes in standard music notation.

TEMPUS FUGIT was commissioned to celebrate the centenary of Finnish independence on 6 December 2017 and it received its first performance in Helsinki on that day, given by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra.The composer says that “if you translate TEMPUS FUGIT as 'Time Flies', you could say that Finland has travelled a long way already -but 100 years is a short time-span, and living as a human in this part of the world started long ago and, we hope, will continue formillennia to come. This relates to my fascination with Bernd Alois Zimmermann's concept of spherical time - that the past, the present and the future are continuously linked and within reach. You can also examine the inter-connection of musical time in the earlier works of Stockhausen such as Kontakte and Gruppen which had a big impact on me as a young composer. A translation of TEMPUS FUGIT that I prefer is 'Time in Flight', offering the idea that time escapes from us but bequeaths a tangible residue, rather like aplane travelling towards the distance but leaving a visible vapour trail.” This 30-minute score is a major addition to the orchestral repertory.

'Piano schwarz auf weiß' überzeugt mit klangschöner Harmonik und Melodik sowie allerlei interessanten rhythmischen Facetten. Inspiriert sind diese Werke von den verschiedensten modernen Musikstilen wie Rock, Pop, Elektro sowie Klassik und Folk, von J.S. Bach bis Nils Frahm. Musik, die große Freude macht und als ergänzendes Unterrichtsmaterial hervorragend geeignet ist. Klangliche Gestaltung sowie Fingerfertigkeit und Rhythmusgefühl sind wichtige Aspekte dieser Sammlung. Die Werke möchten ebenso einladen zu Analyse, zum besseren Verständnis von Harmonien, Rhythmen und dem Einsatz musikalischer Stilmittel wie Arpeggien usw. Auch eigene Improvisationen über gewisse Passagen einiger Stücke (z.B. 4 Chords, Quattro) sind leicht möglich und fördern ungemein die einem selbst innewohnende Tonsprache und Musikalität. Aus diesen Erkenntnissen können Deine ersten Eigenkompositionen entstehen. Das ist doch klasse! Dies fördert besonders das Verständnis von Musik und fehlt meiner Meinung nach viel zu oft im Unterricht. Die Spielanweisungen sind meine Vorstellungen von Klang und Tempo. Mache jedoch auch 'Piano schwarz auf weiß' zu Deinen eigenen 'bunten Werken' mit Deinen Empfindungen und Emotionen. Selbstverständlich sind diese melodischen Werke ebenso ein Spielbuch für Autodidakten und für jeden, der diese emotionalen Stücke auf seinem Klavier zuhause spielen möchte. Tauche ein in meine musikalische Welt und genieße Harmonien, Melodien und Rhythmen!

This piece depicts the magic of butterfly migration with only open strings and first finger (using all strings). The butterflies disappear into the sky with a soft, delicate pizzicato ending. Bowing skills include two-note slurs, staccato on the string, and hooked bowings. While rhythmically simple, this piece incorporates a great mix of note values, making counting accuracy important. UIL String Orchestra Sight Reading Level 5 - 2012.
