'Comme un voyage' is a series of ten solo pieces inspired by Oriental music, tango as well as by Baroque, Celtic and Romantic music. It is particularly suitable for pupils as it makes increasing technical and musical demands while taking them on a journey through various kinds of musical styles: From 'L'oasis', an Orientally inspired piece with drone bass, via 'Cordoba', a tango with complementary themes, and 'Melodie celtique', a piece with a Breton touch, to the romantic and longing 'Romance' or 'Etude romantique', a piece of arpeggios. Great complementary material for music teaching.

In his quest to compile an anthology of the best pieces by vihuela composers, David Grimes encountered the rich complexity of the music of Luys Milan. He also noticed many discrepancies in fingering and in the notes themselves in various existing transcribed editions. Following a period of exhaustive research the author prepared this authoritative guitar edition of the fifty fantasias in Milan's seminal 1536 book, El Maestro. The resulting edition provides a more accurate sense of the virtuosity of this music. These extraordinary pieces are presented here in standard notation only with extensive historical and performance notes. Of this collection the author writes, It is my sincere hope that this new edition will help bring this glorious repertoire to the attention of more of today's many outstanding performers, and that Milan's fantasias will more often take their deserved place on recital programs, alongside the masterworks of John Dowland and Francesco da Milano.
