Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE / SANTOS YAGO. Written in standard notation and tablature, nearly all the pieces in The Music of Debussy for Solo Guitar were transcribed from piano scores. The book?s repertoire represents different periods in the composer?s life and compositional style, from the legendary ?Clair de Lune? to the ?Arabesque No. 1? and some of his most famous preludes, including ?La fille aux cheveux de lin?.Achille-Claude Debussy (1862 ? 1918) developed a highly original system of harmony and musical structure that expressed the ideals of the impressionist and symbolist painters and writers of his time. Oddly enough, Debussy rejected both the term ?Impressionism? and the theoretical approach to music, declaring, ?There is no theory. You merely have to listen. Pleasure is the law.?Author, Yago Santos writes:For me, Debussy represents the most exciting period in the history of music. He accomplished something that happens very rarely, and not in every lifetime; he brought a new kind of beauty into the world. I find it incredible that he never composed a piece for the guitar; that is why I decided to arrange this collection of some of his most famous pieces / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Recueil / Guitare

The composer says: For years, my fellow guitarists have been asking me to compose a solo classical guitar piece that reflects that most American of musical styles?the blues. Their prodding was the motivation for Periwinkle Memories; the inspiration for the piece, however, really came from a maestro of extraordinary skill, and a teacher of even more extraordinary patience, Elias Barreiro, my guitar teacher at the University of New Orleans. I have always tried to emulate in my performances the beauty of his interpretations, and to fuse in my compositions the power and emotion of the blues. The name, Periwinkle Memories was a serendipity. I was struck by the light purplish-blue hue of the periwinkle, and soon learned the history of the funnel-shaped flower (Vinca minor.) Though it now grows wild in parts of the United States it is native to Australia, some consider it an invasive weed, most admire its extraordinary beauty. Common herbicides won?t kill it. The periwinkle is too vigorous and hardy for that. And now it is not merely a begrudged part of the American landscape, it is a vibrant part of the American landscape, elegant, stubborn, and nearly native. Like the blues. And like that young recalcitrant student Maestro Barreiro worked so hard to mold so many years ago. Ogden Nash said, ?One man?s remorse is another man?s reminiscence.? Periwinkle Memories is a celebration of Maestro Barreiro, and of both facets of that adage in me. Carlos Barrientos was born on June 25, 1954 in Tela, Honduras. He began his formal music studies at the National Music Conservatory in Guatemala City, Guatemala C.A. His training with Maestro Elias Barreiro, Director of Guitar Studies at Tulane University, was supplemented with Master Classes with Manuel Barrueco, Leo Brouwer, Juan Mercadal, Michael Newman, Tommy Tedesco and Carlos Barbosa-Lima. He studied composition under the tutelage of Dr. Jerry Sieg, University of New Orleans, and Dr. Roy Johnson, Florida State University. He consulted with Michael D. Martin, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Music, Albany State University, Albany, GA in the creation of a recordings library that reflects Western Art Music and American Jazz for the students at Albany State University. The New York Premiere of the First Movement of his Second Guitar Sonata was dedicated to and performed by Classical Guitarist Maestro Carlos Barbosa-Lima in 2003 at Carnegie Hall. At the request of U.S. Senator Bob Graham one of his compositions, Si Tu Te Vas (If You Go Away), was included on a recording to promote The Everglades Trail. In 2004, at the American Church in Paris, France the World Premiere of his Romance for Flute and Guitar was performed by the award-winning Serenade Duo, flutist Michelle LaPorte and guitarist Gerry Saulter. He has performed with such legendary musicians as Herbie Mann, Donald Byrd and Debbie Reynolds, led an on stage Renaissance Trio in a University of New Orleans production of Shakespeare?s Twelfth Night, and played incidental music for their production of Bertold Brecht?s The Good Woman of Sichuan. He has performed Carulli?s Guitar Concerto in A, Leonard Bernstein?s West Side Story and Marvin Hamlish?s A Chorus Line with the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra and Okaloosa-Walton Community College, Niceville, FL, and with the Southern Art Music Ensemble, a Jazz/Latin Fusion Sextet, including an Honors Convocation in Atlanta for Mr. Ted Turner. He has been a guest performer with the Albany State University Jazz Ensemble at The Fletcher Henderson Jr., Macon and Atlanta Jazz Festivals, and played the banjo in the Albany State University /Albany Symphony?s co-production of George Gershwin?s Opera Porgy and Bes

An Anatomy of Position Playing for Jazz Guitar. Par MOONEY DAVY. If you?ve ever wondered about the depth of thought vs. pattern playing that goes into jazz guitar improvisation, you?ll find the answer in this book. University of North Texas jazz guitar instructor and stellar musician, Davy Mooney is as fluid in writing about the physical and cerebral processes of jazz guitar improvisation as he is in playing over tunes, chord changes and modulations. Mooney describes the guitar fretboard as ??a labyrinth ruled by shapes and patterns.? He recounts his own journey toward fretboard fluency beginning with the CAGED major scale positions and connecting them with ascending arpeggio shapes. The purpose of his book is to show you a way into the labyrinth, how to navigate it, and find your way out, should you so desire. Five is the magic number in this book. With five jazz chord progressions, fretboard scale and arpeggio diagrams in five positions, and transcribed eighth-note improvisations, Mooney illustrates how five giants of jazz?Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Thelonious Monk, and John Coltrane?might have approached improvisation had they been jazz guitarists. Written in standard notation and fretboard diagrams for the intermediate to advanced guitarist already well-acquainted with jazz scale and chord theory. Includes access to online audio for all 60 etudes, play-along and improv examples. / Date parution : 2022-07-23/ Etude / Guitare

Mauro Giuliani is considered today to have been the most important guitarist-composer of the early nineteenth century. Not only was Giuliani the foremost player of his day: his fame reached far beyond the realm of guitar enthusiasts, earning him a place among the musical élite as a complete, versatile musician. Even so, by the end of the nineteenth century he was largely forgotten and his music managed to retain little more than a marginal presence in the repertory of the great guitarists of the early twentieth century. The current revitalization of his work owes its origins to the monumental research begun by Thomas Heck in 1971 and continued by Ruggero Chiesa, Mario Torta, Marco Riboni, and Gerhard Pen. Thanks to the dedication of these scholars, Giuliani's music has progressively returned to its erstwhile prominence in the performing repertory. Giuliani wrote some 230 works, of which 150 carry opus numbers. They consist above all of pieces for solo guitar and a considerable quantity of chamber music for guitar and violin, flute, piano, or voice, as well as three guitar concertos. Based on the texts of the first published editions, the pieces in this collection have been revised only with the addition of fingering (according to the technique documented in Giuliani's method (Studio per la chitarra opus 1) and his Esercizio per la chitarra contenente 24 pezzi della maggiore difficoltà, diversi preludi passaggi ed assolo opus 48, published by Steiner in 1813) and the correction of obvious typographical errors. / 1 Ou 2 Guitare(s)

Voici un formidable ouvrage préparé avec rigueur et maîtrise par l'excellent guitariste et compositeur Jean-Pierre Grau. Ces volumes, pour une technique instrumentale virtuose de la guitare, forment un parcours d'une précision rare et pensé avec minutie. Ils apparaissent aujourd'hui comme une référence absolue, un condensé historique et une projection de l'avenir. Les exemples précis faciliteront la progression des apprentis, dans la plus grande clarté et la plus indispensable nécessité. Jean-Pierre Grau offre au monde des guitaristes leur fondamentale bible aux ramications essentielles. Daniel Tosi Directeur du CRR de Perpignan-Méditerranée, Grand prix de Rome de Composition, Prix George Enesco. Aux trois maîtres catalans Ferran Sor, Francesc Tarrega, Emili Pujol Ce troisième et dernier volume des Chemins de la virtuosité est particulièrement dédié au travail de la main droite (alternance buté-pincé, déplacement d'arpège). Si la main gauche matérialise les notes du texte musical, l?utilisation de la main droite est essentiellement dévolue au phrasé et à l'expression de l'oeuvre. C'est cette main qui incarne nos émotions, notre ressenti intérieur et notre compréhension stylistique, par le biais des intensités, des couleurs sonores et du traitement rythmique. C'est également la main droite qui pâtit le plus de notre méforme, des effets du trac et du manque d'intériorisation du texte musical. Il m'a donc semblé judicieux de porter une attention particulière à ces recherches de mobilité et d'alternance buté-pincé, afin de développer une conscience plus claire et plus efficace de l'action de la main droite. Le travail de lié en déplacement et extension, peu ou pas traité dans les ouvrages spécialisés, ainsi que quelques exercices de barré, développés de manière ludique sous forme de mini études, viennent clore cette trilogie de technique instrumentale. J'espère que ces quelques exercices permettront aux interprètes d'acquérir de nouvelles sensations, une liberté de mouvement dans la conscience du corps, et par là même d'accompagner leurs choix musicaux des fabuleuses possibilités sonores de notre instrument.
