'Suite melodique' for solo guitar by Laurent Meneret (*1963) consists of seven short compositions altogether which focus on various aspects of modern guitar playing in a progressive order of difficulty. The great variety of the pieces ranging from romantic, Creole, Celtic and atonal music to waltz and mambo allows the guitarist to devote himself playfully and intensively to his instrument.

Michael Ware?s Celtic Fantasy on Azmon takes the performer and listener on a musical journey based on the familiar hymn tune for O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing. This voyage explores driving rhythms, a lilting jig, a solemn melody, and a sparkling conclusion. The piece for solo piano is appropriate for worship or recital.

This book contains 30 traditional to modern Celtic tunes arranged in either simple melodic lines with suggested accompaniment chords, or stand-alone melody/chord solos. From rollicking reels and jigs to tender ballads, these Celtic Gems will appeal to the intermediate to advanced mandolinist and their audiences. With a little imagination, the up-tempo melodic tunes could be effectively rendered with drums and electric bass a la Pentangle or Fairport Convention; conversely, three or four of the solo arrangements would provide a tasteful set within a mandolin recital. Take your pick! Presented in standard notation and tablature in mandolin and guitar-friendly keys, these settings provide a masterclass in 4-course instrumental arranging. The authors online recording of each piece is included with this stellar collection. Includes access to online audio.
