A famous Norwegian song arranged for two guitars. The song has been sung by many artists, including Jan Werner Danielsen, Bj�ro H�land, Andrea Een, Arild Sandvold, Sissel Kyrkjeb� and the group G�te. English variations on the title include, I know a castle in heaven, castle in the sky, I know there is a castle in heaven, I know of a heavenly stronghold, and, I know a castle in heaven above.

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.

Alexandre Lagoya once said: For one guitar you can write what the guitar will allow you to write. For two guitars you can write what you choose. While there is a measure of overstatement in this, it remains true that the medium of two guitars allows much greater creative freedom to the composer. There are many kinds of guitar-duo works- at one extreme the very simple, at the other the call for two virtuosi; those in this book inhabit the middle of this spectrum. They are not in effect accompanied guitar solos but equal duets in which two players of moderate technical ability converse with one another, sharing the lead. This they do without sacrificing musical interest. Two of the pieces consist of variations on folk tunes - Shades of Green uses the Irish tune The Next Market Day, while Varieties of Scotch is based on the well-known Scottish tune Ye Banks and Braes. The remaining duet is an affectionate nod in the ragtime direction of Scott Joplin. The two sets of variations are suitable for concert use, and Joblinesque is a natural ending.
