Choro is a popular instrumental-music tradition flourishing in Brazil and around the world. It preceded, influenced, and in turn was influenced by samba and bossa nova. Its repertory is vast, including thousands of choros composed by all manner of string, wind, keyboard, and percussion playersin addition to the guitar classics by Joao Pernambuco and Heitor Villa-Lobos.This landmark publication gives guitarists access to this seemingly endless repertory, empowering its readers to turn a choro written for any instrument into a convincing and idiomatic solo guitar arrangement. This process is taught through examples provided by Dr. Stephen Guerra, a versatile guitarist/composer intimately familiar with both classical and Brazilian guitar (violao brasileiro) as well as the choro idiom. This book is intended for both students of Brazilian guitar and classical guitarists seeking to add choros to their repertory and play them authentically.

ISBN 9781609741075. Select "Cuban Dances" by 19th century Cuban composer Ignacio Cervantes (1847-1905). Although Cervantes respected the binary form established by his predecessor Manuel Saumell, it was the romanticism of Cervantes' dances which distinguished the final evolutionary phase of the "contradanza". They were conceived by Cervantes as "a page in the album of the Romantic Century". This group of Cuban Dances were originally written for the piano and arranged here for flute and guitar in standard notation only with separate pull-out sections for guitar and flute.
