A guitar arrangement of the mavellous Norwegian folk song that has many variants (one of the most popular version was done by Sissel, a Norwegian singer). This is the guitar arrangement of this song, made by Ukrainian guitarist, composer and teacher Eugen Sedko http://eugensedko.com. A good composition for students and for concert performance also, its melody sounds really nice. Notes and tabs together. I really enjoyed it while making an arrangement.

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.

Scarborough Fair - arranged for solo guitar by Dan Jones

This download includestwo versions of the score: one with notes only and the second, notes with TABbelow. Full fingering suggestions (as used by the arranger) are given.

Scarborough Fair is a much-lovedtraditional English ballad, the text of which dates back to medieval times. Ithas been recorded many times by contemporary artists, most famously, Simon andGarfunkel.

In making thisarrangement I am attempting to create a work suitable for the more-advanced orconcert player. My intention has been to use the original theme to construct apiece with structure and harmonic depth.

Scarborough Fair iscomposed in the beautiful, ambient Dorian mode. It is firstly presented in ADorian and midway, modulates to D Dorian before returning to the original modewith a coda. By adjusting the sixth degree of the scale the theme is also heardin Aeolian mode.

I am excited at theidea of using well-known themes to create a concert repertoire suitable for allenvironments and which will appeal to guitarists and non-guitarists alike.

I have also triedperforming the piece with a capo placed at the second fret when I have felt myprogramme needed more harmonic variety.

A film and recordingof me performing the arrangement can be found in the link given on this page orat danjonesguitarist.com.

I hope very much you enjoy playingScarborough Fair.

La Llorona is an iconic Spanish melody which tells of the supernatural 'weeping woman'. The melody has been used in films, animated and with real actors.

You will receive two versions with your single download - one in just notes and the other in notes and TAB.

Recently many exam boards allow candidates to submit their own choice of published music for performance. I would recommend this for ABRSM (or other boards) approximately Grade 3 level.

This version eliminates some of the advanced technical challenges found in other arrangements such as full barré shapes for extended periods and five-fret spreads. It adds other elements of musical interest such as dynamics, articulation and cross rhythms.

A recording and YouTube tutorial video will be uploaded before the end of September 2020.
