Following his incredible success with Divinum Mysterium, composer James Swearingen has created another powerful and expressive setting of a wonderful classic from the past. This time he has selected the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams as his source of inspiration. A written description fails to do justice to this well-crafted work of musical reverence. The music speaks for itself! This has our highest recommendation!

Guitar (Guitar) - intermediate to advanced

SKU: HL.49018681

Composed by Fernando Sor. Edited by Alfons Ziegler. Arranged by Dieter Kreidler. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Guitar. Op. 12. 20 pages. Schott Music #GA545. Published by Schott Music (HL.49018681).

The Spanish guitarist Fernando Sor (1778-1839) undoubtedly is one of the most important composers for the classical guitar. Today, his works are an integral part of the repertoire of every classical guitarist and perfect for guitar lessons. 'Fantaisie' Op. 12 (1821/22) is of the then very popular type 'Theme and variations'. In contrast to most guitar compositions of his time, Sor often used a third or sometimes even fourth part. The polyphonic setting runs through the theme and the seven variations so that the composition is recommendable particularly to somewhat advanced players.

Composed by Jean Baptiste Cramer. Edited by Christopher Hogwood. Playing score. Duration 17 minutes. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH383-SOL).
