The Wild MountainThyme is a much-loved traditional Scottish song, the text celebrates the onsetof summer.

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.

The melody ispresented in a number of contrasting harmonisations and also with the theme presentedin the bass.

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.

The guqin is an ancient Chinese instrument with seven strings and a warm, sonorous low register; Moon Over the Mountain Pass is a traditional guqin composition based on a poem by the Chinese poet, Li Bai. It represents soldiers on the battlefield longing for the comforts of their home and family.

In order to play this piece in the same key as the original, and more accurately achieve a guqin-like sound, the guitar should be tuned to drop C: CGCFAD, however, it has been notated in drop D tuning for ease of reading. Make sure the harmonics and open strings ring clearly, and perform all of the slides with attitude; this is an important part of the guqin sound.
