Brief tuneful melodies arranged for intermediate flutists and guitarists from early American (1817) popular music. Written in standard notation these delightful arrangements feature collections of popular melodies from that eraas well as airs and dances. In keeping with performance practice of the traditional music played during this time these arrangements are organized into sets of pieces as they may have been performed during this era. The setsinclude jigs slow airs and marches as well as melodies that were popular from the continent. These arrangements are appropriate both for background music as well as public concert performance. The arrangements are derived froma book of flute melodies entitled ?Riley?s Flute Melodies.? Published in 1816 and 1817 this book was possibly used as jazz musicians use lead sheets to develop spontaneous arrangements of pieces depending upon the occasion andthe musicians at hand. The guitar arrangements were modeled upon existing guitar practice during that time and use idiomatic guitar devices such as pizzicato and harmonics to provide an imaginative underpinning for the melodies.Many of the arrangements give equal treatment to both the guitar as a harmonic and melodic instrument.

Mauro Giuliani was born in Bisceglie Italy in 1781. He was one of the most famous guitarists and composers in the early 19th century. In 1806 he settled in Vienna where he was celebrated as a virtuoso composer and teacher and stayed there until 1819. Via Venice and Rome he came to Naples where he spent the last five years of his life until he died on the 8th May 1829. From his vast oeuvre comprising about 220 works the two Duets for Flute or Violin and Guitar Op.25 and Op.85 are his key works from the genre that have been most played and recorded.This edition of the Grand Duo Concertant Op.85 for Flute or Violin and Guitar has been editedby Henner Eppel and Volker Höh.The solo flute (or violin) part is also included on a separate insert.

Patykula John (Trans.). Par PATYKULA JOHN. Cette collection de petite mais colorée comprend cinq pièces par trois compositeurs arrangés pour flûte et guitare. Le XVIIIe siècle est représenté par une Gavotte de l'un des compositeurs les plus connus de la période, Padre Giovanni Battista Martini (1706-1784). Deux mouvements sont prises par le célèbre cycle piano de Tchaïkovski, un Album pour les jeunes: ' Old French Song ' et ' Chanson napolitaine. ' Enfin, deux pièces par Enrique Granados prêtent une saveur espagnole à la collection: ' Oriental ' et ' Jota (Rondalla Aragonesa). ' Manifestement, la flûte prend les devants dans ces arrangements duo, avec le guitariste jouant un rôle de soutien actif. La combinaison de la guitare et les flûte fonctionne bien, et ces pièces pourraient servir à fournir un contraste bienvenu à des morceaux de piano accompagnés dans un récital ou un programme de concert. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Classic - Ensemble-Mixed / Recueil / Guitare et Flûte Traversière

It’s addictive. You will find yourself humming it, and you’ll come back to play these pieces again and again. Each piece in this collection has its own powerful personality. Many of the Cantigas have an indefinable feel we have not heard in music from other periods. . . It’s like a texture that fills the room, it permeates the air and once inhaled, it paints pictures in your mind. You hear it and you feel it down to your toes. This is music that follows you and begs to be playedagain and again. If you are an intermediate player, you will find that most of these high-quality pieces are readily accessible. If you are a professional, you will find this book to be a resource that you will draw on repeatedly. If you just like to play for yourselves, it will be a great source of entertainment. For us, this collection is all of the above. These pieces work for concerts, for weddings, and for restaurants.
