Fuga on El Noi de la Mare is a new piece for guitar quartet. It is a fugue based on the main melody of the beautiful Catalan Christmas song, El Noi de la Mare, made famous by the great Andres Segovia.

After a fugal exposition, the original melody is presented with a range of harmonisations. There are very few technical difficulties for the players.

The download includes a full score and individual parts in notes for all players.

The parts can be played one-to-a-part or as a larger ensemble making ideal for guitar societies, schools, summer schools and festivals.

"Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I." From a rich, vibrant Celtic tradition comes the memorable tune "The Water is Wide," lovingly crafted to evoke misty Scottish landscapes with rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic acoustic guitar quartet is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed event), recitals and concerts. For wedding music, this arrangement is recommended as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.
As sacred music, "The Water is Wide" is effective as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, silent prayer accompaniment or special music for traditional church services and other worship events. This melody has been used in multiple hymn settings, including "The Gift of Love," "Though I May Speak with Bravest Fire," and as an alternate melody for "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." 15 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page pullout parts for each guitar). Key: G major.
