Standard notation
and a
simple alpha-numerical
tablature system
are used to present
this unusual
collection of pre-18th
Century tunes for
the standard
12/11-course
hammered dulcimer. Creating
a hybrid of folk
and classical
elements, Carol Koenig
has expanded the
repertoire of the
hammered dulcimer with
melodies from
France, Spain,
England, and Scotland.
The tunes are first
presented in a simple
melodic statement,
then in a more
complex harmonized
version. The author
insists that it is not
necessary to be an
outstanding sight reader
to make beautiful
music on the
hammered dulcimer, or
with this
book.
Composed by
Janita Baker. Squareback
saddle stitch. Blues,
ragtime. Book. With
solos. 104 pages. Mel Bay

A collection of
blues, ragtime,
and crossover tunes
for the
4-course mountain
dulcimer equipped with a
6 Â fret. These
arrangements vary
in difficulty, but all
possess the universal
appeal of the unique
rhythms that define
this musical genre.
Selections include: Rocks
and Grave; Baker's
Dozen; Sweet Home
Chicago; Frankie and
Johnny;Â Careless Love;
Memphis Blues;
St. Louis Blues;
Maple Leaf Rag; The
Entertainer;Â and more.
Written in standard
notation and tablature
with many
pieces transcribed
from performances by
master blues
guitarists. This book
contains much more
than the tunes
themselves; the author
shares years
of experience
regarding
technique, embellishme
nts, and tuning not
to mention lyrics and
generous
performance notes for
each tune.
