The guitar?s entrance into American culture began in the early 1800s introduced primarily by visiting and immigrant Spanish guitarists. Many of these newly arrived Spaniards exerted great influence on the guitar?s development in19th century America. The works in this book contain the compositions and arrangements of eight noted 19th century Hispanic American guitarist/composers with an emphasis on their works that reflect Latin themes or rhythms.Rounding out this anthology are dance forms such as the Habanera Jota Cachucha Sevillaño Spanish Mazurka and other Spanish dance related works along with extended concert pieces such as Theme and Variations Serenades Polonaises and a delightful arrangement of The Celebrated Spanish Retreat a programmatic work with an unusual ?C? tuning and novel harmonic effects crafted to imitate the bugles horns and drums as heard on the battlefield. Thebook features twenty-one solos and two duets which range in difficulty from easy to advanced. An extensive and well researched text along with photos and a companion recording by acclaimed guitarist/scholar Douglas Back help tomake this a landmark book.

A collection of 28 Ernesto Nazareth compositions expertly transcribed for classic guitar solo. One of the major difficulties in trying to arrange Ernesto Nazareth?s themes for any instrument but the piano is to separatethe melodic line from its accompaniment: both are so closely together (that is one of the strongest characteristics of his pianistic style of composition) that it becomes almost impossible to treat one of the features disregardingthe other. If one did that the result would be only a pale and incomplete portrait of what was intended by the composer. That thought has guided us in the making of this book. In spite of the huge obstacles that resulted from thetransposition of a piece originally written for the piano a very rich instrument regarding the expressive recourses to the more 'modest' guitar we always kept in mind our principal intention: to preserve at the most all themelodic dialogues of the scores in special the ones between the melody and the bass line both the elements that form the soul of Nazareth?s compositions. We obviously had to do some changes. Thus for instance in somearrangements it was necessary to transpose the original key to a more appropriate one (at the guitar view-point of course). Some phrases or fragments had also to be written an octave higher or lower (that can be perfectlyunderstandable if we consider the very wide melodic range of the piano and the extensive way with which Nazareth uses it). Needless to say that all those recourses were used only when it has been strictly necessary. Despite thefact that those 28 pieces are only a little portion of Nazareth?s work this group of arrangements represents a good and representative panel. Among them there are some of Nazareth?s greatest hits ('Apanhei-te Cavaquinho' 'Odeon' 'Brejeiro' 'Ameno Resedá' etc.) as well as other not so known compositions but no less beautiful and important. Listening to those pieces one can observe the compositional talent of Nazareth and his incredible

?The main goal of this book is to present what could be called Brazilian guitar today working melodically harmonically and rhythmically in some of the most important Brazilian musical styles. .We have chosen to always use twoelectric guitars in these arrangements (but in the song ?Violeiros e Cantadores? which is for solo electric guitar) so that the essential functions of the guitar rhythm melody and harmony might beexpressed in the clearestand best way in each different style. We have made three versions of each piece for ease of study: a complete one one without the first electric guitar and one without the second electric guitar. Therefore the student will beable to listen to the complete version and thenpractice with the other ones playing the missing parts of the first guitar and the second guitar. At the end of the book like an appendix we have included the bass lines used inthe recordings to strengthen the rhythmic and harmonic comprehension of each style.? All music is in notation and tablature. A free recording of the music is available as an internet download.
