This is a solo, classical guitar tremolo arrangement of The Godfather Love Theme. This version includes guitar tablature along with fingerings, barre markings and string designations in the notation staff. The particular version of the Godfather theme that this arrangement was taken from was actually entitled "Appollonia" in the original Godfather soundtrack. It is the version of the theme that occurs while Michael is consummating his marriage in Sicily and is presented with classical guitar accompaniment and a mandolin playing the melody. It is the only version the The Godfather Theme that is in 6/8 time, making it perfect for a solo, classical guitar tremolo arrangement.

Three Preludes on Occitan Songs

In performance, the guitar is tuned DADGBD (with both strings 1 and 6 tuned to D).

Icomposed Three Preludes on Occitan Songsduring the years I spent living and working in South West France.
I hadthe pleasure of seeing Occitan bands performing at village festivals. The styleof music was coarse and rhythmic with lyrics telling timeless stories. I borrowed the mostsimple of melodic fragments and use them to create contemporary guitar workssuitable for concert performance.

The Cancion de Hialara translates as ?The Spinner?sSong?. In this, I have imitated the rustic drones of the hurdy-gurdies found inOccitan bands through the use of tremolo patterns.

Som Som is a lullaby. This melody isfamiliar to many cultures across Europe and beyond.

Lò NostreAse translatesas ?Our Donkey?. It is a comic song which tells of the antics of a stubbornrustic animal. Players should enjoy the hemiola rhythms where 3/4 is set again6/8.

This cancause some difficulty in reading. Also, to take advantage of the sonority ofthe instrument when tuned this way, the unusual playing positions and fingeringare critical. It is for these reasons that I have provided the score in justnotes but also with notes and tablature below.

Thankyou and I hope you enjoy Three Preludes on Occitan Songs.

Muse
Sing for Absolution

Arranged for solo guitar by Dan Jones

This arrangement of the Sing for Absolution by the English rock band Muse is for advanced guitarists. It is arranged to respect the original melody and harmony, while creating a work which is in a classical/fingerstyle guitar style.

This single purchase will give the score in a 'notes and TAB' version and also a 'notes only' version.

The arrangement features a tremolo section which can serve as a right-hand study. Players finding the four-note tremolo pattern too rapid can change it for a triplet tremolo (pmi or pim), quavers or even simple crotchets.

A video of the arranger performing the piece will be available at www.danjonesguitarist.com before the end of April 2021.
