The composer says: Several musical threads led to my writing this piece of music to celebrate my friend Matanya Ophee?s (AKA MO) 80th birthday - a life lived with the guitar. Jelly Roll Morton once asserted: ?In fact, if you can't manage to put tinges of Spanish in your tunes, you will never be able to get the right seasoning; I call it, for jazz.? Over the last couple of years I moved back to Jelly Roll Morton?s city: New Orleans, home of my adolescence and reacquainted myself with the tinges of Spanish in its rich musical heritage. One of these pieces was the Mardi Gras Mambo, an iconic song frequently played during Mardi Gras and, in David Newman?s reworking of the lyrics, at the New Orleans Saints football games as the Super Bowl Mambo. Uncited sources on both Wikipedia and Essortment say the word Mambo means ?conversation with the gods? in Kikongo, the language spoken by Central African slaves taken to Cuba where it became the name for a musical form and a dance style that developed originally in Cuba in the able hands of Cachao?s (Bassist Orestes Lopez) tune: Danzon Mambo. This rhythmic style became famous in the 1950?s following its use in dance bands in Mexico and through New Orleans to the United States. The infectiousness of the New Orleans re-interpretation of the Mambo?s ostinato bass line and the reaction of people who are readily moved to dance when they hear it spoke to me of dance and celebration. This led me to choose some of this piece?s characteristics and title for this piece: Mambo for MO. As we have progressed on the instrument, some of us may have encountered the four-chord descending minor chord progression known as the Andalusian cadence: i - VII - VI - V in many different genres and guises. After all, it appears in Ray Charles? Hit the Road, Jack, the verse on Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys, Walk, Don?t Run by The Ventures, Runaway by Del Shannon and in that great work arranged and embraced by the Guitar: J.S. Bach?s Chaconne from the Partita in D minor for solo violin, BWV 1004. This bass line derived from a Latin American musical style as reinterpreted in New Orleans, a chord progression that evokes the Flamenco Music of Spain, and my impressions of the sinuous lines of people dancing the Second Line in the streets of New Orleans at Mardi Gras led me to this synthesis as a tribute to a man who has contributed so much in his lifelong efforts for the guitar, its history and lore on the occasion of his birthday! Happy Birthday, Matanya! 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.

Ces chansons de France pour 2 guitares sont nées naturellement avec le temps et le constat suivant: Il est beaucoup plus agréable pour un enfant de débuter un instrument avec des mélodies déjà connues. D'autre part, le travail journalier des parents avec l'enfant se trouve largement simplifié et motivé par leur connaissance préalable de textes musicaux accessibles et faisant partie d'une tradition culturelle toujours présente. La deuxième guitare du professeur, qui est la partie créative de ce recueil, m'a semblé mériter un plus grand approfondissement. Ces pièces pourront également agrémenter les auditions d'écoles de musique avec la flûte à bec ou tout instrument mélodique à la 1ère voix et un élève de fin de ler cycle ou début de 2ème cycle à la 2ème guitare. J'espère qu'élèves et professeurs des écoles de musiques et conservatoires auront autant de plaisir à jouer et à découvrir ces adaptations que j'en ai eu à les réaliser. / Guitare

Par WILLLIAM BAY. The arts flourished in the Baroque period. Music from that time is still performed worldwide by symphonies, opera companies, choirs, chamber ensembles and soloists on many instruments. The period was characterized by the works of such great artists as J. S. Bach (b. 1685), Handel (b. 1685), Telemann (b. 1681) and many others. These composers defined the rich, ornate and melodic Baroque style of music which we categorize in the classical realm. There was another genre of music flourishing during this period, and that was the 'common' or folk music style characterized by such composers as Ireland's legendary harpist, Turlough O'Carolan (b. 1670). In composing music for this book the author recreated harmonic and melodic elements of this great musical age, while adding some contemporary twists. All of the etudes are original and will serve to enhance guitar technique, phrasing, expression, note- reading ability, and knowledge of the entire guitar fingerboard. Fingering and string markings are included where appropriate. In addition to facilitating the many technical and aesthetic aspects of performing at an advanced level on the guitar, these etudes may be used successfully in concerts or recitals. This book is an ideal companion for the other books in the Mel Bay 'Achieving Guitar Artistry' series, which is designed to condition and guide the developing guitarist to an advanced level of proficiency, regardless of the style of music performed./ Recueil / Guitare

Internationally renowned classical guitarist David Leisner plays a live concert program with some pieces that are well-known and others that may be new to guitarists. One of the discoveries is the Sonata in b minor byWenzeslaus Matiegka (1773-1830) an unduly neglected composer that Leisner calls 'the Beethoven of the Guitar'. It’s a great addition to the Guitar repertoire. Another discovery is Leisner’s own Nel Mezzo: Sonata whichSoundboard magazine called 'an original and profoundly personal work...powerful angry and moving music'. Now played quite a bit the music of Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856) was virtually unknown when Leisner recordedand published some of his music almost 30 years ago. Here two of Mertz’s pieces display the passionate Romanticism of this music. The classics include the sublime Prelude Fugue and Allegro by J. S. Bach two delightful Rags byScott Joplin in Leisner’s arrangements and a dazzling encore of Etude No. 12 by Villa-Lobos.Leisner introduces each piece informally and is interviewed during intermission by Andrew Dickenson. Theinterview covers a number of topics in depth including some of Leisner’s secrets about easing physical tensions while playing the Guitar and his thoughts about the music he’s playing and about composition.

Par WEISS SILVIUS LEOPOLD. Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687 1750) is known to guitarists as the greatest baroque composer for the lute, yet most are only familiar with the earlier portion of Weiss?s prolific output found in the British Library in London. Inspired by a forty-year friendship with the late Douglas Alton Smith - a major figure in the scholarly study of the history of the lute - guitarist, composer, and head of the guitar program at Temple University in Philadelphia, Allen Krantz explored the Weiss manuscripts found in other European cities, particularly the Dresden editions which contain the fifteen sonatas that Weiss produced from the late 1730s to the end of his life. Transcriptions of three of those fifteen late sonatas are featured in this book in modern standard notation along with the original lute tablature as found in the Sächsische Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek, Dresden. While the baroque lute?s tuning makes some works awkward or impossible on the guitar, the three works presented here?Sonatas No. 35 in D minor, No. 42 in A minor and No. 45 in A Major? are in their original keys which happen to be guitar-friendly. The author?s generous and scholarly ?Preface? provides thorough historical and performance notes for the music in this volume. While just three of Weiss?s 109 multi-movement lute sonatas are represented here, the importance of this publication cannot be overstated. It contains some of the greatest music of a masterful lutenist? Weiss once faced-off with J. S. Bach on keyboards in a counterpoint improvisation contest?now made accessible to the modern classical guitarist. / Date parution : 2022-04-09/ Recueil / Guitare Classique

Agustin Pio Barrios Ferreyra, a Paraguayan composer and guitarist, is nowadays known as the creator of the Mangorean or Indo-American school of the Guitar. ?The name, Mangoré, was adopted in honor of the great chieftain Mangoré, an important personage of the Paraguayan jungles?.Mangoré used for his works popular folkloristic themes of South America as well as sounds of nature (?the still waters of [?] the Amazon?, ?the song of the birds?). But Magnoré also was inspired by European music: He composed gavottes, minuets and waltzes: ?It was in J.S.Bach where Barrios discovered the source of his universality [?]?.Admired by many but despised by more was his way of stringing his guitar: ?[?] the way he attacked the strings with the fingers sideward, with very little use of the fingernails?. He also invented some kind of a muffler: He put ?small balls of rubber on the Pirastro steel string?. Jesus Benites R. who collected Magnoré?s works for this edition says about him: ?Magnore is the genius of South America?. He was a strong influence for many composers and musicians, such as Heitor Villa-Lobos, Manuel Ponce and Andres Segovia.

La méthode de référence du guitariste débutant ! Cette méthode d'initiation à la guitare acoustique constitue indéniablement le meilleur moyen pour le guitariste débutant de progresser dans la pratique de son instrument. Tout d'abord parce que cette méthode est extrêmement complète, qu'elle aborde tous les éléments qu'un apprenti guitariste se doit de maîtriser : techniques de jeu, rythme, accords... Ensuite parce que cette méthode est excessivement progressive. Tout y est enseigné et donc aussi assimilé petit à petit, en utilisant graduellement la théorie musicale comme une aide et non comme une contrainte. Enfin parce que cette méthode est incroyablement ludique.?On y joue de la guitare dès les premières leçons, on y apprend des morceaux à la manière des plus grands artistes (The Beatles, Coldplay, David Bowie, U2, Tracy Chapman, Bob Dylan, James Blunt, J-J. Goldman, John Mayer, etc...), et on se fait plaisir avec des playbacks à profusion. Le DVD joint à la méthode constitue une aide complémentaire de tout premier ordre, puisqu'il permet d'entendre mais aussi et surtout de visualiser tous les exemples musicaux tels qu'ils doivent être joués à la guitare acoustique. De son côté, le CD MP3 fourmille de playbacks en tout genre, permettant de mettre en application tous les exemples et autres morceaux de la méthode, et de se préparer au jeu en groupe. / Guitare
