This first collection of Greek Demotic Song melodies has been arranged for classical guitar and it contains 297 songs. It will be published in 18 volumes of 16 songs per volume, apart from volumes 17 and 18 containing respectively 21 and 19 melodies. The publication follows the alphabetical order of the song titles and it is based on the Greek Alphabet. The term "demotic" is used with referring to the rural musical tradition of Greece in order to differentiate it from urban traditions referred to as "Laiko" and/or "Rebetiko" song tradition. All three terms in fact refer to popular music either by anonymous or eponymous creators.

The popularity of Six English Folk Songs for Easy Guitar inspired this new collection of folk songs. Each song arrangement begins with a simple setting and is followed by at least one variation. Note that some of the variations are a little more difficult, though none are higher than lower intermediate. The songs are: Spanish Ladies, The Keys of Canterbury, Searching for Lambs (a different version to the one in the first collection), The Truth from Above, The Trees They Grow So High, Dabbling in the Dew.

Traditional Folk songs from any country take on a magical quality when playedharp style in altered tuning. These arrangements are great for students justbeginning to explore altered tunings, or for more advanced guitarists wishing toadd to their gig repertoire.

The Ukrainian folk music is an immense source of inspiration, particularly the ritual songs, which represent the deepest, and therefore the most valuable layer of a nation?s creativity. The arrangement belongs to the early works of the composer. Therefore, someone may be surprised with the quite freely form interpretation of the work. This, however, by no way makes the composition less interesting. Rather on the contrary, weird music images and sudden changes of the tempo may draw attention of both, those who prefer ?light? pop or jazz music, and those who is fond of contemporary academic style. The Ukrainian title of the song is just an allegorical expression that has no particular meaning. This expression can be only quite approximately translated into English as ?Cuckoo?, that?s why I didn?t display this translation in the English version of the work?s title. The PDF-file contains 11 pages (main score 4, parts ? 4 pages, cover and the title page). Fingering is indicated where appropriate. Duration: approx. 3.44 min.

This is the seventh volume of an extensive collection of folk songs arranged for the classical guitar mostly in two-part counterpoint. The arrangements are of moderate difficulty and the aims of this publication are to familiarise, entertain and educate guitarists (and other musicians) with a melodic repertoire of lasting aesthetic value, under the light of contrapuntal treatment. The thirty five volumes of this collection can certainly be printed on paper if so desired and there are a few pages in each volume, either blank or with photographs of various musicians, which can be inserted at will in any place for the correct ordering of left and right hand pages so that page turns can be avoided. The principle of avoiding page turns has been maintained in all volumes, but this edition is also designed with mobile electronic devices in mind such as tablets etc, using the environment and facilities of a score reading application, towards a paperless world, at least in music. Therefore the size of the staves is bigger than usual for ease of reading on a small screen but not big enough to exceed the limit of a two-page view. Active internal links for navigating from thematic indexes to particular songs and back to indexes have been added, and also external internet links to sites that give further information for the 945 songs of this first collection for classical guitar.

Four traditional folk songs from around the world arranged for solo classical or acoustic guitar. Songs include Kojo no tsuki, Las Mañanitas, Jacob's Ladder, and Wee Cooper O'Fife.
