Boccherini Respighi Mascagni Spazzoli. This series presents some of the most significant works of European and Latin American music from the last three centuries transcribed for chamber guitar ensemble (in formations ranging from duo to quartet). The works contained in each volume have been selected both for their intrinsic artistic value and their potential to enhance sound production and playing technique. All of the transcriptions are strictly faithful to the original texts and have been reworked in order to make them suitable for players at all levels, from novice to professional. ?Guitar Ensemble? is therefore an effective aid for the study of ensemble music from middle and high school up to a conservatory level. Italian Portrait is a selection of works of the Italian composers Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805), Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936), Pietro Mascagni (1863-1945) and Alessandro Spazzoli (1964).

'This music grew out of necessity. A large number of guitarists with a wide range of technical ability were brought together as an ensemble to be trained in as musical a way as possible By writing parts from the 4th to the 1st progressively more demanding the idea of ensemble playing has proved not only successful musically but also technically accommodating; therefore this material should be ideally suited for class tuition. The absence of fingering is intentional; on closer acquaintance with the music players should experiment with various fingerings. Dynamics noted in the score are only suggestions which can be altered according to individualtaste. The possibilities for interesting and exciting colours and sonorities are almost inexhaustible and should be one of the more appealing aspects of such music-making. If this music succeeds in bringing more guitarists out of isolation and under the same roof as it has done in the experience of the composer then it can be considered as a decisive step forward in the development of the Guitar as a 'musical' instrument'. - Gilbert E. Biberian

Aussi loin que remontent mes souvenirs, c'est mon père qui m'a ouvert au monde magique des contes. Quelle plus belle tentation que se replonger dans ce monde fantastique et inquiétant peuplé de nos craintes mais aussi de nos rêves ? J'ai souhaité partager ces moments de plaisir et d'émerveillement avec quelques amis musiciens et compositeurs qui ont bien voulu se plier au difficile exercice de la composition pédagogique. Qu'ils en soient ici remerciés. Nous espérons que les guitaristes en herbe qui découvriront ces recueils prendront autant de plaisir que nous avons pu en avoir à les composer, et qu'un peu du rêve de ces contes passera dans leur imaginaire et entre leurs doigts. Ces pièces à 3 et 4 voix pourront se jouer en trios et quatuors mais trouveront pour certaines toute leur densité en grand ensemble de guitares. / 3 À 4 Guitares
