Commande du duo germano-canadien Amadeus Guitar Duo, Concertomaggio est un triple omaggio à Ravel, Sor et à l'argentin Astor Piazzolla. Si certains éléments caractéristiques de l'écriture de ces trois compositeurs demeurent très lisibles dans chacun des mouvements qui lui rend hommage, il est toutefois notable que le second de ces mouvements, tout en citant l'une des plus célèbres études de Fernando Sor, s'enrichit, en contrepoint, d'extraits des hymnes allemand et canadien, clins d'oeil respectifs aux dédicataires de l'oeuvre. Ainsi, le deuxième mouvement s'ouvre sur les premières mesures de l'Adagio du Kaiserquartett de Haydn, lequel s'efface bientôt à la faveur des dernières notes du somptueux O Canada de Calixa Lavallée laissant enfin entrer la guitare et ses louanges catalanes. N'appartenant à aucune autre école que celle de l'émotion et du plaisir partagé et toujours en quête de cette balance idéale entre l'orchestre et les guitares, l'inclassable Concertomaggio - très classique mais si contemporain à la fois - ne ressemblerait-il pas, somme toute à un bref et heureux voyage dans l'espace et le temps, tout simplement ' R.D.Auteur : DYENS RolandDiscipline/Instrument : 2 guitares et orchestreSupport : PartitionStyle/Genre : classiqueDate de parution : janv.-00

The main body of the piece stays true to the original composition, as true as possible that is, considering that is has been adapted for the guitar. With this arrangement comes a set of performance notes which offer conceptual and technical insights. / 2 Guitares

Par LE GARS MARC. Issued from Celtic mythology and antiquity (500 BC), the tales and legends of Wales stem from a long aural tradition whose origins are lost in the midst of time. Adventures, myths, epics, these legends often with Arthurian origins, provide a veritable abundance of stories, in turn wonderful, tragic, frightening, sometimes humorous but always full of humanity. The Four Branches of the Mabinogi (Pedair Cainc y Mabinogi) refer to four medieval fairy tales drawn from two manuscripts written in medieval Welsh between 1350 and 1400: Pwyll prince of Dyfed (Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed) Branwen daughter of Llyr (Branwen ferch Llyr) Manawydan son of Llyr (Manawydan fab Llyr) Math son of Mathonwy (Math fab Mathonwy) There have been other tales and stories traditionally linked to these, as follows: Llud and Llevelys (Lhud a Llevelys) Kulhwch and Olwen (Kulhwch a Olwen) Rhonabwy's dream (Breuddwyd Rhonabwy) Owein and the Lady of the Foutain (Owein Neu Larlles Y Flynnon) Macsen Wledig's dream (Breuddwyd Macsen Wledig) This 5th volume is therefore specifically dedicated to the musical illustration of a few of these stories and to the depiction of its heroes - borrowing medieval sounds of these far away times, and introducing others, more modern and closer to us...

Duets for Classical Guitar 2. Solo guitar arrangements of classical works are often so complex that they exceed the capabilities of most guitarists. Fabian Payr?s Duets for Classical Guitar avoids this pitfall by sharing the original work between two guitars. In so doing, famous compositions?from stylistically varied periods and for a range of original instrumentations?are in some cases accessible to guitarists for the first time. The collection also includes well-known pieces from the demanding solo guitar repertoire that can be worked on by less advanced players thanks to this sharing approach.

If you're new to the guitar, you are probably eager to learn some songs. This book features special arrangements in standard notation of a variety of songs from pop/rock hits and standards to show tunes and movie themes that guitarists can play with a teacher or band. Includes: Chopsticks · Clocks (Coldplay) · Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles) · Game of Thrones Theme · Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) · Linus and Lucy (from A Charlie Brown Christmas) · Memory (from Cats) · Over the Rainbow (from The Wizard of Oz) · Star Wars (Main Theme) · What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong) · You Raise Me Up (Josh Groban) · and many more.
