Francis
Bebey was born in Douala
in July 1929, into a
large family where his
father, a pastor,
struggled to feed his
children. But Francis had
the opportunity to go to
school. Admiring his
elder brother, Marcel
Eyidi Bebey, he educated
himself, distinguished
himself, and eventually
received a scholarship to
go and take his
baccalaureate in
France. We approached
the end of the 1950s when
he arrived in La
Rochelle. More than ever,
in this France where
Africans were looked at
with curiosity,
condescension, or
disdain, Francis relied
on his intellectual
resources. A diligent
worker, he obtained his
Baccalaureate, then moved
to Paris where he started
English studies at the
Sorbonne. One day, he
knew what truly attracted
him: he wanted to do
radio. Francis learned
his craft in France and
in the USA. After
working for a few years
as a reporter, he was
hired in 1961 as an
international civil
servant in the UNESCO
Information
Department. In
parallel, Francis had
always been drawn to
musical creation. His
very serious daytime
activity didnâ??t
prevent him from
frequenting jazz clubs in
the evenings. In Paris,
the Jazz, the trendy
music of that time, but
also rumba and salsa
attracted him. He
collected records and
attended numerous
concerts. With his
accomplice Manu Dibango,
Francis took the stage
and played
music. Francis liked
classical music since his
childhood. He grew up
listening to the cantatas
and oratorios of Bach or
Handel that his father
had sung in the temple.
He became passionate
about the guitar,
impressed by the Spanish
and South American
masters, and decided to
learn to strum the
instrument himself. He
started composing guitar
pieces, blending the
various influences that
flow through him with the
traditional African music
he had carried within
since childhood. His
approach captivated the
director of the American
Cultural Center (then
located in the
Saint-Germain
neighborhood of Paris),
who offered him the
opportunity to perform in
front of an audience.
Francis gave his first
guitar recital there
(1963) in front of a
mesmerized audience. His
first solo album was
released shortly
thereafter. Gradually,
Francis became recognized
as a musician and
composer. Several albums
of the African guitar
ambassador, as described
by the press, were
released. He also wrote
books, to the point that
his artistic career
became challenging to
reconcile with his career
as a civil servant. In
1974, even though he had
become the General
Manager in charge of
music at UNESCO, he took
the bold leap and
resigned from this
prestigious institution
to dedicated himself to
the three activities that
interested him: music,
literature, and
journalism. He
explored the traditional
musical heritage of the
African continent,
notably through the thumb
piano sanza, and the
polyphonic music of the
Central African pygmies,
or singing in his native
language and composing
humoristic songs in
French! Success
followed. Francis Bebey
traveled the world: from
France to Brazil,
Cameroon to Sweden,
Germany to the Carribean,
or Morocco to Japan...
the list of countries
where he was invited to
perform, gives lectures,
or meets readers is very
long. In addition to
public recognition, he
enjoyed the recognition
of his fellow musicians,
such as guitarist John
Williams or Venezuelan
Antonio Lauro, who
invited him to be a part
of the jury for a
classical guitar
competition in
Caracas. His life was
the journey of an African
pioneer, a man rooted in
his cultural heritage and
carrying a message of
sharing and hope for the
world. His originality
continues to vibrate
around the world since
his passing at the end of
May 2001.

Beyond the
White Hand: Construction
with Guitar Player, was
commissioned by the
Julian Bream Trust and
first performed at St
John's Smith Square by
Andrey Lebedev in 2014.
This substantial addition
to the advanced solo
guitar repertoire
reflects and expands upon
an earlier miniature from
2007: Guitar and White
Hand, BirtwistleÂ’s
first piece for the
instrument. Both pieces
draw artistic inspiration
from the artist Pablo
Picasso: the smaller
piece written for Forbes
Henderson and sharing a
title with the 1927
painting of the same
name. The larger piece
was composed in the
centenary year of
Picasso's Construction
with Guitar Player after
which the piece is named
and the sculpture
Guitar.Picasso made about
a dozen 'sculptural'
constructionsÂ’ during
1912-1914, many of which
employ recycled or carved
elements. A good number
of these were destroyed
and only one, Still Life
was shown publically
during his lifetime.
Picasso's own
Construction with Guitar
Player was an
installation of a
partially drawn and
painted figure to which
he added arms made of
newspaper that fold away
from the wall to embrace
a real guitar. In the
foreground stands a table
with a bottle of wine and
this was photographed by
Picassoin his studio in
1913. Musically,
BirtwistleÂ’s
Construction is a large
scale, dense work of
sixteen minutesÂ’
duration. It does not
develop linearly, but
presents fragments of
detail, interruptions,
digressions and loops as
a “deconstructed
guitar†in
sound.

The
best way to learn a
musical instrument is to
play it as much as
possible, and the most
enjoyable way is with
other musicians in a band
setting. Trading songs,
interacting with other
instrumentalists, and
building an ensemble
sound help you learn much
faster than approaching a
new instrument on your
own. This play- along
series of books and
companion audio promotes
a fun way of learning by
providing you with a band
to play along with. You
can practice chords and
rhythm, singing and
lyrics, melodies, solos,
licks, and back-up
playing along with a real
band. The companion audio
includes Dix Bruce on the
guitar, mandolin and
vocals, Bill Evans on the
banjo and vocals, Julie
Cline on vocals, and
Cindy Browne on the
string bass. The songs
are recorded just as they
would be played at a jam
session or performance,
with introductions
kickoffs , vocals and
solos. By playing
back-up/melody and
singing along, you will
have a lot of fun while
you learn. Open solo
spaces in the recordings
allow you to play the
chords and solos from the
book, create your own
improvised solos, or sing
the lyrics while the band
provides accompaniment.
The book includes fifteen
of the most popular
bluegrass, old-time and
gospel songs, recorded at
slow and regular tempos
in the audio. No matter
what your ability level
is on the guitar, you can
enjoy playing along with
the band. Includes access
to online audio.

As it
is the most commonly used
instrument in Bossa Nova,
the Guitar stands at the
very core of these 25
complete
accompaniÂments; they
are performed in the
style of legendary Bossa
Nova Guitar players such
as Gilberto Gil, Stan
Getz, Joao Gilberto,
Baden Powell, Antonio
Carlos Jobim and many
more. Wistfully swaying
rhythms and subtle chords
are adorning the pages of
this coursebook -
admittedly, intended for
learning purposes, yet,
without ever disregarding
the pleasure of playing.
The approach to be
followed for the
interpretation of these
25 musical pieces is
illustrated in detail
within the three
preliminary chapters of
this coursebook:
fingerstyle techniques,
rhythmsand chords
specific to Bossa Nova
are accurately and
meticulously explained to
you. In addition to this,
the DVD shows you all 25
musical pieces at their
full length and at two
different tempi: first,
for demonstration
purposes, recorded at
actual playing speed,
then at a slower speed,
in order to give you the
opportunity to practice
and overcome the upcoming
difficulties. For its
part, the MP3 CD allows
you to practice the
musical pieces by playing
them along to backing
tracks of a proper length
- once again at two
different tempi: at a
slower speed for
practicing and at actual
speed for playing
contextually
appropriately.

Die
vorliegende Ausgabe
beinhaltet eine Vielzahl
verhaltnismassig leicht
spielbarer Stucke -
uberwiegend Lieder und
Tanze - und wendet sich
daher besonders an
Spieler, die ihr
technisches Konnen noch
weiter vervollkommnen
mochten, aber schon
Freude und Interesse an
der Wiederbelebung alter
Musik haben. Die
Kompositionen und
Bearbeitungen fur Lauten-
und Gitarreninstrumente
wurden bis gegen Ende des
18. Jahrhunderts in einer
Griffzeichenschrift - der
Tabulatur -
aufgezeichnet. Diese
Griffnotation ist in
verschiedenen Arten, auf
Buchstaben oder Zahlen
bzw. auf Buchstaben und
Zahlen basierend,
uberliefert. Man
unterscheidet deutsche,
italienische, spanische
und franzosische
Tabulaturen. Sie
bestanden lange Zeit
nebeneinander, wobei sich
schliesslich die
franzosische Tabulatur,
der ein Liniensystem (fur
die Saiten), auf dem die
Bunde durch Buchstaben
gekennzeichnet wurden,
zugrunde lag, als die
praktischste erwies. Um
die in diesen
verschiedenen
Griffzeichenschriften
niedergeschriebenen
Kompositionen allgemein
zuganglich zu machen, ist
es zweckmassig, sie in
die heute gultige
Notenschrift umzusetzen.
Da aber die
Tabulaturdrucke und
-manuskripte leider oft
sehr fehlerhaft und
unvollstandig sind,
verlangt die Ubertragung
grosse Sachkenntnis;
zuweilen ist die Auslese
an wirklich guter Musik
im Verhaltnis zur
aufgewendeten Zeit recht
gering. Um aber dem
Anliegen, moglichst viele
qualitatsvolle und
dennoch auf der Gitarre
leicht spielbare
Kompositionen vorzulegen,
gerecht zu werden, sind
in die Sammlung neben
Ubertragungen aus
Tabulaturen fur Gitarre
auch solche aus
Tabulaturen fur Calichon,
Mandora und
Renaissancelaute
aufgenommen worden. Von
einem grossen Teil der
Stucke sind die
Komponisten unbekannt, da
sie in den Quellen nicht
genannt werden - eine
Erscheinung, die in fast
allen Tabulaturen zu
beobachten ist. Die
alteste uns bekannte
Gitarrenmusik (Anfang des
16. Jahrhunderts) stammt
aus Uberlieferungen fur
die viersaitige
(doppelchorig) spanische
Gitarre. Gegen Ende des
16. Jahrhunderts wurde
die Gitarre funfsaitig
(doppelchorig) und erst
etwa 200 Jahre spater
erhielt sie die sechste
Saite - jedoch einchorig
- und hat sich so bis
heute erhalten. Die
Stimmung von Calichon und
Mandora war die gleiche
wie die der Gitarre,
allerdings waren sie
bereits seit der Wende
vom 17. zum 18.
Jahrhundert sechssaitig.
Es ist durchaus legitim,
die fur Calichon und
Mandora uberlieferten
Kompositionen auf der
Gitarre zum Klingen zu
bringen -dies um so mehr,
da kaum mit der
Wiedererweckung und
Verbreitung der beiden
Instrumente zu rechnen
ist. Anders verhalt es
sich mit der
Renaissancelaute, die
heute wieder haufiger
gespielt wird. Sie hat
die gleichen
Saitenintervalle (Quarten
und Terz) wie die
Gitarre, lediglich dass
das Terzintervall
zwischen der dritten und
vierten Saite liegt. Im
Interesse der weitaus
grosseren Zahl von
Gitarrespielern wurden
fur die vorliegende
Sammlung nur solche
Stucke ausgewahlt, die
auf der Gitarre bequem zu
greifen sind. Dem
Lautenspieler werden sie
infolge ihres geringen
Schwierigkeitsgrades
ebenfalls sehr willkommen
sein. Den im
Quellenverzeichnis
genannten Bibliotheken,
in denen ich zum Teil
schon vor mehr als 50
Jahren begonnen habe,
alte Lauten- und
Gitarrentabulaturen fur
diese und andere Ausgaben
zu sichten und zu
sammeln, sei bestens fur
die Uberlassung von
Handschriften, Drucken
und Filmen zur
Ubertragung oder zum
Vergleich gedankt. Die
Wiedergabe der Stucke
folgt so weit wie moglich
den Originalquellen,
lediglich offensichtliche
Fehler wurden
stillschweigend
korrigiert. Adalbert

Revival is a long overdue
resource that provides
fresh accessible
arrangements of classic
hymns for contemporary
ensembles. Each
arrangement is scored for
SAB choir, piano, guitar,
and optional instrumental
parts. For added texture,
the final stanza of each
hymn includes an
alternate harmonization
of the accompaniment with
a soprano descant. These
fourteen arrangements
will open a whole new set
of treasured hymns to
piano and guitar based
ensembles. Compatible
with the versions founds
in GIA’s most
recent hymnals, each of
these arrangements is
intended to support and
inspire the sung prayer
of the assembly. Every
one will find a
comfortable home in your
repertoire throughout the
liturgical year! A
special spiral bound
edition of Revival is
also available. This
edition is perfect for
accompanists who would
also like to use these
hymn arrangements as
preludes, interludes, or
postludes. Collections
like Revival are
not simply a way for
contemporary ensembles to
plant deeper roots and
tap into more traditional
repertoires. It is a way
for all of us to hear old
hymns with new ears, in a
new way. --Fr. Anthony

Alonso’s Revival
offers us fourteen
wonderfully arranged
familiar
hymns—musically
accessible and a delight
to sing. Flexibly crafted
for voices, piano and
guitar with lovely
optional descants, this
is an ecumenical gift and
bridge-builder between
classical and
contemporary approaches
to hymns in the liturgy.
It should be in every
parish’s working
library. --Don Saliers,
Professor of Theology and
Worship at the Candler
School of Theology In his
new collection, Revival,
Tony Alonso marks the
500th anniversary of a
great divide in the
church by bridging the
chasm between Catholic
and Protestant,
contemporary and
traditional, Appalachian
and European. His
arrangements for voices,
piano, and
guitar—with
options for using other
instruments as
well—allow for
improvisation and
adaptation while
remaining accessible for
a wide range of
musicians. Although these
hymns are designed to be
used by contemporary
ensembles, they lend
themselves to use in a
variety of worshiping
contexts. Alonso's
arrangements will entice
you to sing
along--Revival is a great
gift to the whole church!
--Kimberly Bracken Long,
Editor of Call to
Worship: Liturgy, Music,
Preaching, & the Arts
Tony Alonso’s,
Revival, is an invaluable
resource to help find
common ground among
“contemporaryâ€
and
“traditionalâ€
choirs and ensembles by
making hymnody
approachable to those who
may have shied away from
it for stylistic reasons.
It is also a great
educational tool for
organists and pianists
who are seeking ways to
improve their
improvisatory keyboard
skills by modeling
accompaniment styles and
improvisatory patterns
that support and enhance
the singing of
traditional hymns.

Is the beginning
stage of learning the
guitar proving to be a
frustrating experience?
Do you lack songs which
you can play from start
to finish? Do the ones
that you can play all the
way through not sound
much like their original
versions? I have been
teaching these pieces to
my beginner students for
quite some time now, and
the success rate has been
remarkable. Most methods
start by having the
student slowly move back
and forth between basic
chords using only down
strokes, playing chords
one note at a time to
make sure all the notes
ring clear. This book
offers something much
differentâ??playing
music! The pieces are
designed to target
trouble areas often
experienced by beginners
of the instrument:
arching the fingers
enough in order to let
all the notes of a chord
ring clearly. Rather than
just droning on through a
series of chords, musical
patterns are created so
that as you learn proper
technique youâ??re also
playing something
musical. The results have
been better than
expected. Focusing on
figures that demand
proper technique and some
of the most common
strumming patterns found
in popular music, many of
my students are able to
execute beginner and
intermediate level songs
within a few weeks of
picking up the instrument
rather than a few months.
Additionally, the dreaded
F chord, or root 6 major
barre chord, often rings
clearly with all 6 notes
being heard upon the
first attempt. This book
will help you achieve
your guitar related goals
quickly, more
efficiently, and most
importantly, more
enjoyably. Includes
access to online
video.
