What
are the true qualities of
a person? Outward beauty
or inner values? Or
perhaps a balance of the
two? This question has
probably been posed by
everyone at some time or
another, and the answer
is as challenging as it
is subjective. This is
also the theme of this
work. The poet and
soldier Cyrano de
Bergerac is known for his
big nose and his great
intellect. The 17th
century novelist harbours
feelings for the
beautiful Roxane but is
sure that this love will
never be reciprocated.
Roxane herself falls in
love with the cadet
Christian de Neuvillette,
who is certainly handsome
but could be described as
stupid. Cyrano de
Bergerac writes love
poems on behalf of
Christian to win
Roxanes heart. And then
there is the Count
Guiche, who is married
but also wants to make
her is mistress.
Christian and Roxane
eventually marry and the
furious Count Guiche
sends Christian and
Cyrano, who serve
together in the Captains
of Gascony regiment, to
the front and, some
months later, on a
suicide mission. Shortly
before the battle, Roxane
confesses to her husband
that she no longer loves
him so much for his
beauty as for his inner
values. Christian is
dismayed and begs Cyrano
to tell Roxane the truth,
but he cant bring
himself to do so.
Christian de Neuvillette
dies in battle and Cyrano
de Bergerac remains
silent about the true
provenance of the
letters. Only much later
does the truth come to
light: scarred by the
war, Cyrano visits Roxane
in the convent where she
has been living since
Christians death and
confesses his love for
her. He ultimately dies
in Roxanes arms.

Journey back
to ancient Rome in this
powerful string orchestra
work depicting the
strength and reach of the
Roman armies through the
eyes of a weathered
centurion (a centurion is
the equivalent of an Army
captain). The work begins
with a full statement of
the Centurion motif in
the high strings which
should be played with
power and strength while
in the rhythmic marching
element (depicting the
Roman Army) in the low
strings propels us
forward. The lyrical
sections at measures 13
through 32 in the viola
and cello sections should
be expressive and
maintain that powerful
sound first established
in the violins at the
beginning of the piece.
From mm. 32-42, aÂ
torrent of triplets
drives toward a grander
gesture of the Centurion
motif in the violins and
viola sections while the
low strings maintain
momentum and rhythmic
precision. The piece
continues to a more
solemn restatement of the
motif, a section which
requires a great deal of
expressive playing and
vibrato, as the centurion
reminisces about his
accomplishments, before
launching into one last
battle from m. 59 to the
end.

Oâ??Carolan
for Classical Guitar
is the fourth and final
volume of Guido
Bögerâ??s classical
guitar arrangements of
the 214 compositions of
the itinerant blind Irish
harper, Turlough
O'Carolan (1670â??1738).
This last collection
includes 58 solo pieces,
including
Oâ??Carolanâ??s
variations on two
Scottish
airs.
These
settings are generally
intermediate in
difficulty and reflect
the beauty and lyricism
of the original melodies,
most of which are tribute
tunes named for
Oâ??Carolanâ??s
patrons: Colonel
Oâ??Hara, John
Oâ??Connor, Mrs.
Oâ??Connor, Lady Wrixon,
General Wynne, Captain
Oâ??Neil, The Landlady,
etc. The works are
meticulously written in
standard notation and are
ideal for sight-reading
practice, personal
enjoyment, or concert
performance. Moderate
left-hand fingering and
string numbering are
provided in these
well-crafted
arrangements.
Alon
g with his previous Mel
Bay editions,
Turlough O'Carolan
Irish Harp Pieces for
Classical Guitar,
O'Carolan Favorites
and O'Carolan
Airs, this book
completes Guido
Böger's comprehensive
O'Carolan series. The set
of four books would make
a great gift,
particularly for an Irish
guitarist.
