The central Piano works of Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920) share with Claude Debussy?s music those distinctive harmonies and rhythms that typify impressionism in the early 20th century. In that period of 1910 to about 1916 the era of Debussy?s ?Sunken Cathedral? and ?Ondine? Griffes composed his evocative ?The Lake at Evening? ?The White Peacock? and ?The Fountain of Acqua Paola.? This highly coloured music free in form and strongly pictorial signalled Griffes? creative break from his student work in Berlin infusing his music with experimental parallel harmonies whole-note scales fluid rhythms poeticreferences and tinges of orientalism typical of the style and its time. This fine collection contains all of the essential works of Griffes? central period: Three Tone-Pictures Op.5 (?The Lake at Evening ? ?The Vale of Dreams ? and ?The Night Winds?); Fantasy Pieces Op.6 (?Barcarolle ? ?Notturno ? and ?Scherzo?); and Roman Sketches Op. 7 (?The White Peacock ? ?Nightfall ? ?The Fountain of the Acqua Paola ? and ?Clouds?). The volume concludes with Griffes? Piano Sonata completed in early 1918 just two years before his premature death. Written at the peak of Griffes? creative power it is one of the composer?s most striking works and a complete break from his earlier style classically structured and uncompromisingly dissonant.

Par BERTHOUD PHILIP JOHN. Ideal for the intermediate-level guitarist, these 17 traditional tunes from the UK plus one from France are arranged to be played with your electric guitar plugged-in. The transformation that occurs in switching from acoustic to electric instruments adds an unmistakable Celtic rock element to the author's companion recording.The tunes are all played twice through on the recording and transcribed note-for-note in the book. The recording features backup from both electric bass and a second electric guitar, often played with a slide and a little 'dirt? thrown into the mix. Skillful bodhrán and djembe playing on many of the tracks adds to the dynamic nature of the recording.Many of these tunes can be played in lower positions but a few venture as high as the 14th fret. Playing one note at a time within a narrow range, if you don't read particularly well now, working through these tunes will help you improve and gain confidence as a sight reader.Written in standard notation and guitar tablature. Includes access to online audio. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Musique traditionnelle anglaise, irlandaise, écoss / Tablatures / Guitare Electrique
