Alexandre Lagoya once said: 'For one Guitar you can write what the Guitar will allow you to write. For two Guitars you can write what you choose.' While there is a measure of overstatement in this it remains true that themedium of two Guitars allows much greater creative freedom to the composer.There are many kinds of Guitar-duo works- at one extreme the very simple at the other the call for two virtuosi; those in this book inhabit themiddle of this spectrum. They are not in effect accompanied Guitar solos but equal duets in which two players of moderate technical ability converse with one another sharing the lead. This they do without sacrificing musicalinterest.Two of the pieces consist of variations on folk tunes - Shades of Green uses the Irish tune The Next Market Day while Varieties of Scotch is based on the well known Scottish tune YeBanks and Braes. The remaining duet is an affectionate nod in the ragtime direction of Scott Joplin. The two sets of variations are suitable for concert use and Joblinesque is a natural encore piece.

Par LE GARS MARC. Issued from Celtic mythology and antiquity (500 BC), the tales and legends of Wales stem from a long aural tradition whose origins are lost in the midst of time. Adventures, myths, epics, these legends often with Arthurian origins, provide a veritable abundance of stories, in turn wonderful, tragic, frightening, sometimes humorous but always full of humanity. The Four Branches of the Mabinogi (Pedair Cainc y Mabinogi) refer to four medieval fairy tales drawn from two manuscripts written in medieval Welsh between 1350 and 1400: Pwyll prince of Dyfed (Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed) Branwen daughter of Llyr (Branwen ferch Llyr) Manawydan son of Llyr (Manawydan fab Llyr) Math son of Mathonwy (Math fab Mathonwy) There have been other tales and stories traditionally linked to these, as follows: Llud and Llevelys (Lhud a Llevelys) Kulhwch and Olwen (Kulhwch a Olwen) Rhonabwy's dream (Breuddwyd Rhonabwy) Owein and the Lady of the Foutain (Owein Neu Larlles Y Flynnon) Macsen Wledig's dream (Breuddwyd Macsen Wledig) This 5th volume is therefore specifically dedicated to the musical illustration of a few of these stories and to the depiction of its heroes - borrowing medieval sounds of these far away times, and introducing others, more modern and closer to us...
