Chansons of the 16th Century for Classical Guitar : Franco-Flemish and Parisian Chansons Printed by Pierre Attaingnant Commentary - translations, and arrangements for solo guitar or lute by Richard Metzger.
A collection of chansons printed in various collections between 1529 and 1543 by Pierre Attaingnant, the inventor of single-impression printing. The arrangement of chansons for lute or keyboard was an important source of instrumental music in the sixteenth century. The chansons in the present anthology, the fruits of a particularly rich period in French music, are modern arrangements for guitar or lute made in accordance with procedures found in French prints of the time. The musical styles range from the serious, imitative Franco-Flemish chanson of northern composers to the charming, light-hearted, and often ribald chansons that furnished musical entertainment in early sixteenth-century Paris. Although the arrangements are instrumental, text translations are furnished to aid in interpretation of the music and to amuse the modern reader as they amused the listener in the 1530s and 1540s. Standard notation only. Publisher: Chanterelle. 96 pages.

The music selected for this book seems to lift you gently back to by-gone days to an era more leisurely paced than our own. This collection for solo classic guitar focuses first and foremost on early Christmas music and is enhanced by appropriate cover art, biblical text and poetry dating from this exciting period. The selections are festive to listen to while providing arrangements ranging from the traditional "easier to learn" lute solos to more advanced settings with today's harmonies. Each piece is cloaked in the special beauty and warmth that is characteristic of the guitar. A "mix and match" approach in the arrangements provides an added dimension for your enjoyment. For example, What Child is This/Greensleeves begins with an olden lute version followed by interludes that segue into other sections. Seven of the eight pieces in the book are recorded on the accompanying CD for your listening pleasure and to guide you in interpreting the pieces. Written in standard notation only. 32 pages.

Gregorian Chants for Acoustic Guitar by Steven Eckels
|
|
$22.50 - Book/CD Set 96651BCD |
|
Inspired by the intimate relationship Native Americans have their culture and music, Steve Eckels probed the music on his Judeo Christian roots. The result of his quest is this book of guitar transcriptions of nine tracks from the popular choral recording Chant by the Benedictine monks of Santo Domingo de Silo, Spain plus a tenth chant from a 1940 Episcopal hymnal. A harmonization variation and suggested "improvisations" are offered for each chant. Steve Eckels is well known for his full-sounding settings for the guitar. All of these arrangements lie well on the fretboard and appear in both standard notation and tablature. This book is classified as intermediate in difficulty due to the unusual bar line-free notation of the original chant melody. The player will be challenged to develop a feel for plainsong rhythm to properly render these pieces. 80 pages.

The Highland King: The Scottish Lute Volume 2
by Ronn McFarlane transcribed by Jamey Bellizzi
This collection presents carefully crafted guitar arrangements of 44 lute pieces in standard notation together with a pull-out supplement of the original lute notation in French tablature. The music in this book was drawn from three important lute manuscripts: The Rowallan Lute Book (c. 1620) for 10-course lute, The Wemyss Lute Book (c. 1644-1648) for 10-course lute, and The Balcarres Lute Book (c. 1700) for 11-course lute in d minor tuning. Original spelling is retained in the titles with the often-fanciful end result still legible. Even with the sixth string frequently tuned to D, players at the intermediate level should find these pieces rewarding sight-reading material. Those who wish to add the suggested ornamentation will be duly challenged. Overall Difficulty: Intermediate. Pages: 120.
