Caprice No. 4 for Mandolin (mandolin solo) MO158

Mandolin Solo

Music by Mark O?Connor

5 pages - 3:00 minutes in length



From the Thirty-Year Retrospective album notes; ?I began to choose and arrange some of the best tunes of my 30-year recording career. As I worked, it all came flooding back. The places, the people, the feelings. Tunes from my childhood... ?Pickin? in the Wind,? the first tune I ever wrote...material from my Rounder and early Warner Bros. recordings...The Championship Years, New Nashville Cats, Heroes, Strength in Numbers, the Appalachia projects for Sony Classical. It was all there. A musical biography...started out as a retrospective of my career, during the process it became more. As I listen now, I realize that these recordings stand as a testament to the living, breathing, ever-evolving heritage of American music. As I watch these and other young players rise, I know it couldn?t be in better hands.?

An original composition in DADGAD tuning for solo acoustic fingerstyle guitar. Written as a reaction to the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020. As I woke one morning and thought about the current situation, I came to realize that, each day, I experienced the same set of thoughts and outlook as the day before, thoughts of unrest, fear, and wondering if this would ever pass. Would life ever be as it was before? I check the news for the latest updates on the virus, and try to move forward as best as I can. But, in the end, each day seems to be as the day before, as if I?m going round and round, not sure of what the future holds. The constant harmonic movement from Am - G - F- G makes the piece feel as if it?s a constant, never ending cycle.

The non-jazz improvisation series is a concept that germinated in Dick Weissman's mind while he was attending music school. He wrote a 15-piece arrangement of the old square dance tune, Cripple Creek, and wanted the trombone to take a solo as part of the arrangement. When the trombonist kept playing a bebop solo that was totally unsuitable for the chart, Dick realized that - in addition to the many musicians who do not improvise - there are even jazz musicians who don't know how to improvise outside the limits of their own stylistic backgrounds. The non-jazz improvisation series mostly includes new original tunes that are intended to show how to improvise in many musical styles, including;* Blues* Country* American folk * Latin-American* World music including South American, Eastern European and Asian * Odd meters (playing in a variety of time signatures)* New Age* Classical * Folk-RockIn short, the books are an encyclopedia of virtually every musical style, excluding jazz. Includes access to online audio.
