ISBN 9781619111707. This is the follow-up to the successful Latinitas for Solo Guitar. (Product Number: 20995BCDEB Mel Bay Publications.) Some of the best-known Latin American rhythms are included in this collection which is carefully graded for intermediate level performance. The most natural way of making music is having the accompaniment independent from the melody, so both parts can be played with full expression and attention to nuances. Also, in Latin American music the second guitar plays some very attractive but sometimes complex rhythms. Therefore, having the two parts separated makes it possible to play this music with more accuracy and enjoyment. Latinas for Two, in addition to presenting beautiful melodies and captivating rhythms, should provide guitarists of all ages with a fantastic trip through the sensual South-American world of music! Includes access to online audio.

Brilliantly recorded by the Amadeus Duo on Hanssler Classics, this work always receives a rapturous welcome at concerts.

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.
