Par PAGE JEANNE. Bluegrass on Hammered Dulcimer is a collection of tunes commonly found in the standard bluegrass repertoire. Favorite vocal pieces such as 'A Man of Constant Sorrow,' 'Angel Band,' 'Keep on the Sunny Side,' and 'Will the Circle be Unbroken,' are included along side hot instrumentals such as 'Jerusalem Ridge,' 'Rawhide,' 'Big Mon,' and 'Blue Grass Stomp.' Even traditional tunes that you think you know already such as 'Bill Cheatham,' 'Farewell to Whiskey,' 'Forked Deer,' and 'Salty Dog' are given a new twist when presented as a typical bluegrass 'break.' Intermediate players and above will enjoy the challenge of learning more complicated versions of common tunes and performing them at the high-speed tempo that is expected in bluegrass music. Players are encouraged to use these examples of bluegrass breaks merely as a starting point. Improvisation is a key component in playing bluegrass style and players will enjoy experimenting with their own creations. Each tune has guitar chords notated above the music staff. Standard notation only. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Bluegrass - Solos / Recueil / Dulcimer (Cordes frappées)

Par MARA WASBURN. This outstanding children's method for mountain dulcimer is the result of the author's many years of sharing the dulcimer with children, and has been successful with children as young as 5 years old. This single volume combines the best material from the author's two previous volumes, Children's Dulcimer Method Volumes One and Two. In it you will find many traditional songs and folk tunes arranged for the mountain dulcimer. Each song has a simple strum pattern indicated above it with fret numbers for the melody notes and lyrics included where appropriate. There are instructions for strumming, chording, fingerpicking, and for three modal tunings (Ionian, Aeolian, and Mixolydian). Harmony is included for many of the songs, so that two or more dulcimers can play together. / Niveau : Débutant / Acoustic Music - Methods / Méthode / Dulcimer des Appalaches (Cordes pincées)

Par SANSONE MAGGIE. This manuscript is a collection of the tunes featured on Maggie Sansone's 'Wind Drift' recording. The pieces, Celtic in style, were written for the 14/15 hammered dulcimer (the larger dulcimer with more chromatic notes) but can be played on the smaller 12/11 instrument as well. Chords are provided to identify harmonic structure, provide a guide for an accompanying instrument, and as encouragement for the reader to create his or her own variations. This book, in tandem with the aforementioned recording, will enhance the musician's understanding of the tunes and their spirit, offer insight into Maggie Sansone's playing and arranging style, and inspire new musical ideas. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Recueil / Dulcimer
