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.

The lyric lines of Douglas Nolan's music provide warm closure to any gathering as they gently caress this classic benediction. The optional violin obbligato may be played on flute or synthesizer if desired. An Irish Blessing is simply beautiful.

The power of prayer is sensitively presented in Douglas Nolan's Ask of Me. This gentle octavo invites the worshipper into a season of prayer and reflection. This melodic ballad is easy to learn and well-suited to most anysize ensemble. Expressive in tune and in text this anthem affirms our confidence in Christ and is a beautiful celebration of the power of prayer in our lives.

With stately majesty your band transports the audience back to medieval days. The music fires the imagination which is a real asset when directing young bands.Careful doubling of important parts makes sure MARCH OF THE NOBLES will be accessible to bands with sketchy instrumentation as well as complete ensembles. And there are enough accidentals to keep the musicians’ skills moving forward but not so many that rehearsals will bog down.Whether you use it for concert or festival you are sure to succeed with this great new composition by Douglas Court.Magnificent young band music!
