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.

Ce célèbre chant de Noël anglo-saxon (dont la mélodie est également connue sous le nom d?Humility) a été composé en 1771 par John Goss (1800-1880) sur un texte d?Edward Caswall (1841-1878). John Goss est né à Fareham dans le Comté du Hampshire en Angleterre. En 1811 il est admis comme choriste à la Chapelle Royale où il étudie auprès de John Stafford Smith et de Thomas Attwood organiste à la cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres. En 1824 il est nommé organiste à l?église Saint-Luc de Chelsea. À la mort de Thomas Attwood en 1838 John Goss lui succède comme organiste à la cathédrale Saint-Paul. Il compose de nombreux motets et odes pour divers services religieuxexceptionnels célébrés en la cathédrale. En 1872 il quitte son poste à Saint-Paul et est fait chevalier par la reine Victoria. Parallèlement à ses fonctions d?organiste à l?église Saint-Luc et à la cathédrale Saint-Paul John Goss a enseigné l?harmonie à l?Académie Royale de Musique de Londres pendant quarante-sept ans. Parmi ses nombreuses odes encore chantées on peut citer Infant Holy Infant Lowly Praise My Soul et See Amid the Winter's Snow.
