ISBN 9781610659918. Gaspar Sanz (1640 - 1710) is the most famous baroque-period guitarist. His works are tuneful and memorable, with fiery cross-rhythms and cascading scale passages. He published three books of guitar music.The baroque guitar could be viewed as a close relative of the ukulele. Indeed, the two instruments have much in common. The smaller four-course guitar actually had the same tuning as the ukulele, for example, although it was largely double-strung.Sanz enjoyed playing scales in the campanella style, with the notes of a scale set out on different strings, sonically overlapping slightly in the style of little bells. This is a technique the ukulele excels at, and is used to good effect in these arrangements.Sanz music for baroque guitar transfers exceptionally well to the uke, as these arrangements demonstrate. It is hoped that this repertoire will bring a refreshing addition to the repertoire of the ukulele, just as the little instrument can bring a freshness to these old but lively pieces.

Hello. Carl here. I've arranged a handful of popular classical pieces
here for you and your ukulele. Playing uke alone can be a fun but also
lonely experience, so I've added the melody line along with the
solo ukulele part, just in case you're lucky enough to have a friend.
The pieces are easy to medium difficulty depending on how quickly you play them.
In real book style I've also written the suggested chords above the stave should
you wish to strum along.
You get the tab, the notation and I've also included the seperate parts
should you want to use it to learn notation or something.
If you like this book, please do tell anyone you know about it.
Hopefully they will
buy it too.
