The Original First and Second Books including Dowland's Original Lute Tablature-Considered the greatest lute virtuoso and composer of the English school in the early 17th Century John Dowland (1563-1626) composed over 80 pieces of solo lute music. His peerless skills as an instrumentalist were hailed by poet Richard Barnfield who referred to Dowland as one '...whose heav'nly touch upon the lute doth ravish human sense.' As a composer Dowland displayed a versatility of mood with works ranging from the lighthearted to the deeply serious exquisitely melancholic vein in which he excelled.

In the past two decades tango has experienced a popular resurgence worldwide. Almost universally familiar as a dance form, tango is also a distinctive genre of song or canción that was born in the impoverished outskirts of late 19th-century Buenos Aires. Whether sung in Spanish, or as would happen later, in Italian or Russian. Twenty-six songs illustrate the growth and diversity of tango from its Argentine roots to its dissemination throughout Europe and into the Middle East and beyond. These songs are represented both in print - with melody lines, chord boxes and lyrics in their original language and in English - and through classic recordings by the original artists on the accompanying CD. The CD features 26 classic recordings by the original artists. Donald Cohen is a New York born lawyer, history and music professor, guitarist and folklorist, he has also devoted himself to studying and collecting music from Europe and the Americas. / Chant Et Guitare

from Schmelli's Hymnal for Voice and Guitar BWV 439-507. Johann Sebastian Bach?s arrangements of the ?69 Sacred Songs? from the Musical Hymnal by Georg Christian Schemelli (Leipzig, 1736) have long been part of the German language vocal concert repertoire and a mainstay in vocal pedagogy. Originally, only these 69 of the 954 hymns in the collection were published with a single bass line as the accompaniment. Bach?s contribution was to specify harmonies to be played over those same bass lines by adding figured bass numbers and symbols beneath each note.A figured bass line can easily be turned into a relatively simple guitar accompaniment or a more elaborate setting, offering a range of possibilities that make working with this music both interesting and rewarding for the guitarist. While other period and modern editions of the ?69 Sacred Songs? offer accompaniments for keyboard instruments, this Mel Bay publication features intermediate to advanced transcriptions exclusively for the guitar.Best suited to college-level players or advanced aficionados, this special Mel Bay Publications edition includes the vocal line with German lyrics and the guitar accompaniment transcribed from Bach?s figured bass lines. Written in guitar-friendly keys, 29 of the transcriptions employ a capo to achieve the original key designed for high voices. Without the capo, these same arrangements would be suitable to be sung by lower voices. The remaining 40 hymns are in their original guitar-friendly keys and so do not require a capo.This volume contains accompaniment settings of all 69 of the sacred songs and arias for which Bach wrote figured bass annotation. For performance variety and convenience, this book includes online access to PDFs of the ?Scores in their Original Keys,? and stand-alone ?Guitar Accompaniment,? and ?Bass Parts".

The song Cantares sets a poem by philosophical poet Ramon de Campoamor whose words describe a conflicted and unfulfilled love. The transcription from Piano to Guitar enhances the Iberian flavour of the Turina?s song. There are virtuosic passages for the Guitar and quite demanding passages for the Soprano or high Voice.Joaquin Turina is often contrasted with Albéniz and Granados those two proponents of a Spanish national style. Turina strove to write music of a European standard in the conventional major forms and it is possible to hear the influence of Turina?s years studying in Paris as well as his native Spain combined with the composer?s own unique Voice.

This mini-cycle of three songs for Voice and in this instance Guitar are ranked among the greatest of Granados’s musical achievements. The blend of beautiful melody formal integrity and control in the accompaniment creates a remarkable work. The songs set the poetry of Fernando Periquet a contemporary Spanish writer and generally concern the theme of romantic love. The texts are in Spanish untranslated.Spanish composer and pianist Enrique Granados was active in the decades around the turn of the last century. Granados’s life and work were cut tragically short when the passenger ship on which he was sailing was bombed by a German U-boat in the English Channel. Heis best known for his suite for Piano Goyescas which has been arranged for other instruments written in 1911 around the time that these songs were written.

Twenty-seven traditional and modern songs that children love to hear. Includes 'Mary Had A Little Lamb' 'Yellow Submarine' and 'Puff The Magic Dragon'.
