Flausino Vale (Barbacena, 1894; Belo Horizonte, 1954), known as the "Brazilian Paganini" by Villa-Lobos, wrote a set of characteristic and concertante preludes for solo violin. These short pieces show the Brazilian musical landscape and explore important violin techniques rarely shown on a basic level. This book presents a bigger set of scores including missing pieces in previous catalogues and alternate versions for 3 preludes, which the composer intended to publish. There is a suggestion for studying the preludes in a progressive order. This edition aims to print original bowings, fingerings and instructions which retain precious teachings of this remarkable teacher. Editor?s suggestions and explanations are written in Portuguese and English. As a homage to Flausino Vale, there are two Flausinian preludes composed by Dr Zoltan Paulinyi for violin, along with their transcriptions for viola.

Many great Scottish traditional tunes can be traced back to 17th century lute music. In this collection, multi-instrumentalist Rob MacKillop has transcribed and arranged 25 popular tunes derived from various lute manuscripts. While idiomatic to the guitar, some of these arrangements include fast runs and chord changes, so are best suited to the intermediate-level flatpicking guitarist. This guitar collection consists of the same melodies in the same keys found in its mandolin counterpart, Tunes From 17th Century Scotland Arranged for Mandolin (Mel Bay Publications). In both books, suggested chords are provided wherever appropriate. Consequently, the settings work fine as either mandolin/violin and guitar duets, or as solos for either instrument. Until now, most of these appealing dance tunes and airs have not been available as guitar arrangements. Here, except for two tunes in drop-D tuning, all are in standard guitar tuning. With MacKillopas spirited online recording, generous performance notes and standard notation and tablature for each selection, get ready to explore a wonderful new take on an old repertoire! Includes access to online audio.

In this unique collection, multi-instrumentalist Rob MacKillop presents 30 airs and dances from Scotland, Ireland and England transcribed for the modern guitar in open-D tuning (DADFa-AD). Although conceived for fingerstyle playing, most of these traditional, Classical and Baroque pieces are also playable with a pick. During the mid to late 18th century, a wire-strung instrument which could be described as a cross between a guitar and a cittern appeared in Britain. With the exception of the publications in Edinburgh by Robert Bremmer (c. 1713 a 89), most period writings refer to this instrument as the guittar. In providing extensive historical and performance notes on this music, the author has adopted this spelling. While derived principally from the publications by Scottish guittarists Robert Bremmer and James Oswald (1710 a 69), MacKillop discovered additional Scottish publications and manuscripts in The National Library of Scotland and even more manuscripts in the uncatalogued library of Blair Castle in Perthshire, Scotland. Written in standard notation and tablature, this book brings a particularly uncommon repertoire to light with an exceptional downloadable recording. Includes access to online audio.

21st Century Chords for Guitar offers a new perspective on guitar chords. The standard chords that we all know work to get us through any accompaniment situation. However, there are more expressive possibilities to be found. In these pages you will see that the guitar is much less limited than is generally realized. Through the 12-tone system, or Atonal Music theory, I have found interesting voicings for many every-day chords. You will also find very unusual sounding chords that you probably wouldn't figure out using other methods. My goal is to help change the way we as guitar players think of chords on the instrument, so check it out!

A deeply moving and adventurous quartet for 20th/21st century quartet.

E lucevan le stelle (And the stars were shining) is a romantic aria from the third act of Puccini's opera Tosca, written in 1900. It is sung in Act 3 by Mario Cavaradossi (tenor), a painter who is awaiting his execution and in love with the singer Tosca. (Wikipedia).

This aria is one of the most beloved in all the operatic repertoire and has been captured beautifully in a lovely arrangement for brass quintet by Vikention Gionanidis. The music is appropriate for advanced performers.

The instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in C (B-flat parts supplied as well), Horn, Trombone, and Tuba.
