Par PUJOL MAXIMO DIEGO. Suite Mágica arranged for harp and guitar. All four movements - Preludio, Vals, Tango and Candombe - take their cues from Argentine dance forms and are presented in a well-balanced and conversational style for the two instruments. Simple in structure and romantic in spirit, the movements alternate gracefully between interwoven dance material and heart-meltingly beautiful interludes that pay homage to the Pujol's first love: the guitar. In the composer's words, 'The origin of the title, 'Magic Suite,' comes from the third section guitar solo of the Candombe, which was written in a few minutes. It was a magic moment for me and I wrote the rest of the piece using material from those eighteen bars.?/ Répertoire / Guitare et Harpe

The tenth concerto in B minor in L'Estro Armonico (best translated as The Harmonious Inspiration) which is edited here in A minor - for four solo guitars - is one of the most famous in the entire collection -- indeed inVivaldi's entire output. Scored for four solo violins two solo violas solo violoncello and an strings orchestra. Johann Sebastian Bach not only admired Vivaldi's Opus 3; he copied it openly. In a general sense the Vivaldipieces gave impetus to much that is in the German master's Brandenburg Concertos. More particulary six concertos of Vivaldi's Opus 3 were copied by Bach as the basis for six of his concertos: two for 0rgan (BWV 593 and 596 basedon Opus 3 nos. 8 and 11 respectively) three for solo harpsichord ) BWV 978 972 and 976 based on Opus 3 nos. 3 9 and 12 respectively) and one for four harpsichords and orchestra in A minor (BWV 1065 based on Opus 3 no. 10).Bach frequently rewrote concertos scored for one kind of instrument substituting another. It is evident that Bach thought not so much in terms of the violinistic nature of the originals but in their harmonic and rhythmicpotential which could be realized on any instrument. Since Bach has already justified an arrangement of Opus 3 number 10 by the great aesthetic success of his four-harpsichord version it serves to reason that an arrangementfor four guitars is equally valid. Just as Bach preserved everything of the original Vivaldi and added only a few doubling to accomodate the left hands of the harpsichordists so in this version the substitution of guitars is donewith little or no change of original-notes. The arpeggios especially prominent in the second movement lend themselves ideally to guitar playing and the ability of the guitar to play both lyrical lines as well as passage worksuits the violinistic lines and passages of the original.

Glenn Weiser. Centerstream Publications. Features 45 Irish and Scottish harp tunes (28 tunes are by Turlough O'Carolan) arranged at the intermediate level for solo guitar. Standard tunings are used throughout for classical guitarists as well as steel-string fingerstylists.
