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.

The name of
this book is no
exaggeration. It includes
some of the most gorgeous
music that the authors El
McMeen and Sandy Shalk
know. To make things even
more interesting, none of
the music was originally
written for guitar.In
addition to Celtic
favorites, El includes
his arrangements of two
of the most beautiful
arias in all of opera:
Che Gelida Manina from
Puccinis La Boheme and My
Heart at Thy Sweet Voice
ôMon Coeur Souvre ? ta
Voixö from Samson and
Delilah by Camille
Saint-Sa?ns. Sandys
contributions range from
Celtic to French love
songs to Stephen Foster,
manifesting Sandys gift
for chordal subtleties
and innovation.Each piece
is in either standard
tuning EADGBE or Drop D
tuning DADGBE .Written in
standard notation and
tablature with computer
generated audio files of
each arrangement.
