NielGow?s Lament (For the Death of His Second Wife) is a beautifulpiece of fiddle music that is a staple of the Scottish fiddle repertoire. Itsmodal style and scope for ornamentation make it ideal for arrangement for twoguitars. The piece is suitable for intermediate/advanced players.

This download supplies you with a score, parts in notes and parts in TAB.

Niel Gowwas born in Perthshire in 1727 and is the composer of many fine fiddle tunes.His name is sometimes spelt as ?Neil? or even ?Neal?. His first wife wasMargaret Wiseman and following her death, Gow married Margaret Urquhart in 1768.This lament was composed on her death in 1805.

The piece can be simplified by omitting the ornamentation or made more substantial by performing a complete repeat which works very well musically.

Derek Hasted writes "This charming piece, by Ennio Morricone, has found fame in the films Maddalena and Le Professionnel, and on television in An Englishman's Castle and The Life and Times of David Lloyd George. In the UK it reached number 2 in the Singles Chart.

I have also made a simpler arrangement for 3 guitars (or large ensemble), listed elsewhere on SheetMusicPlus - this duet version stays closer to the original, but requires a little more dexterity.

My arrangement for 2 guitars comes with full score and two slightly different arrangements, all in this one edition. One arrangement is "tune and accompaniment", and is ideal for a school concert as well as for an adult duo of slightly different skills, or as a student/teacher duet. The other arrangement switches the parts between tune and accompaniment for a version which is slightly more interesting for players and audience in a concert situation. That said, both versions will work in front of an audience!

The accompaniment line uses a sixth string tuned to D, and many of the arpeggio shapes are instantly recognisable. Each is fingered on its first occurrence. The sixth string tuning removes the full barrés on the chords of F and G, leaving half barrés in their place.

I hope you enjoy this piece!"
