The composer says: Several musical threads led to my writing this piece of music to celebrate my friend Matanya Ophee's (AKA MO) 80th birthday - a life lived with the guitar. Jelly Roll Morton once asserted: 'In fact, if you can't manage to put tinges of Spanish in your tunes, you will never be able to get the right seasoning; I call it, for jazz.' Over the last couple of years I moved back to Jelly Roll Morton's city: New Orleans, home of my adolescence and reacquainted myself with the tinges of Spanish in its rich musical heritage. One of these pieces was the Mardi Gras Mambo, an iconic song frequently played during Mardi Gras and, in David Newman's reworking of the lyrics, at the New Orleans Saints football games as the Super Bowl Mambo. Uncited sources on both Wikipedia and Essortment say the word Mambo means 'conversation with the gods' in Kikongo, the language spoken by Central African slaves taken to Cuba where it became the name for a musical form and a dance style that developed originally in Cuba in the able hands of Cachao's (Bassist Orestes Lopez) tune: Danzon Mambo. This rhythmic style became famous in the 1950's following its use in dance bands in Mexico and through New Orleans to the United States. The infectiousness of the New Orleans re-interpretation of the Mambo's ostinato bass line and the reaction of people who are readily moved to dance when they hear it spoke to me of dance and celebration. This led me to choose some of this piece's characteristics and title for this piece: Mambo for MO. As we have progressed on the instrument, some of us may have encountered the four-chord descending minor chord progression known as the Andalusian cadence: i - VII - VI - V in many different genres and guises. After all, it appears in Ray Charles' Hit the Road, Jack, the verse on Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys, Walk, Don't Run by The Ventures, Runaway by Del Shannon and in that great work arranged and embraced by the Guitar: J.S. Bach's Chaconne from the Partita in D minor for solo violin, BWV 1004. This bass line derived from a Latin American musical style as reinterpreted in New Orleans, a chord progression that evokes the Flamenco Music of Spain, and my impressions of the sinuous lines of people dancing the Second Line in the streets of New Orleans at Mardi Gras led me to this synthesis as a tribute to a man who has contributed so much in his lifelong efforts for the guitar, its history and lore on the occasion of his birthday! Happy Birthday, Matanya! Carlos Barrientos was born on June 25, 1954 in Tela, Honduras. He began his formal music studies at the National Music Conservatory in Guatemala City, Guatemala C.A.

Huit pièces de 'scènes d'enfance' arrangés pour deux guitares, imprimés en combiné format de partition. (Certaines parties ne sont pas disponibles séparément.) Contrairement à son ' Album pour les jeunes, ' (opus 68), les 'scènes d'enfance' (op. 15) pour piano ne sont pas des pièces pour enfants, mais sont plutôt, en termes de Schumann,'les réflexions par les adultes pour adultes'. La dynamique originale de ces pièces est resté principalement sur le côté tranquille, afin que les arrangements pour la guitare sont assez proches des caractéristiques tonales des instruments tranquilles de la première moitié du XIXe siècle. Les indications dynamiques originales ont été utilisées dans l'ensemble, pour rendre les gradations clear pour les artistes interprètes ou exécutants. En utilisant un remplaçant tuning pour la guitare, il était possible de conserver quelques notes bass à l'octave inférieure de la composition originale. Pour la première guitare de trois pièces, j'abaisse la chaîne sixième à c et la cinquième chaîne à g. Puis la sixième chaîne peut être réglée à d pour les pièces restantes.

Par PUJOL MAXIMO DIEGO. Les Suites del Plata s'inspirent de la suite de danses, forme instrumentale très en vogue pendant la période baroque, qui était une série de danses populaires de différentes parties de l'Europe, toutes liées par un élément mélodique-rythmique et précédées d'un prélude. Les Suites del Plata rassemblent des pièces musicales de la région connue sous le nom de 'La Cuenca del Plata', un vaste bassin autour du Rio de la Plata et ses affluents, dans lequel une riche et abondante variété de danses, de formes et de styles de musique populaire a émergé et existe encore aujourd'hui. La Suite n°5 débute par un prélude intitulé 'Desde el aire', moment aérien et léger. Il est suivi d'une pièce urbaine et changeante appelée 'Sarasa' dans laquelle tout est dit, ou rien... 'Gris llanura' (Plaine grise) nous emmène dans la solitude écrasante de la plaine pampéenne. 'Los lirios' (Les lys) est une valse créole inspirée et dédiée à ma propre maison. Pour clore l'oeuvre, nous trouvons 'Candombe final', une danse énergique d'origine uruguayenne qui nous aide à affronter la vie d'un autre endroit. Las Suites del Plata toman como modelo las Suite de Danzas, forma instrumental muy en boga durante el período Barroco, que era una serie de danzas populares de distintas partes de Europa, todas relacionadas por algún elemento melódico - rítmico y precedidas por un Preludio. Las Suites del Plata reúnen piezas musicales provenientes del área conocida como 'La Cuenca del Plata', una extensa geografía alrededor del Río de la Plata y sus afluentes, en la que surgió - y aún hoy conviven - una rica y abundante variedad de danzas, géneros y estilos populares. La Suite del Plata n°5 comienza con un Preludio titulado 'Desde el aire', una etérea y liviano momento. Le sigue una urbana y cambiante pieza llamada 'Sarasa' en la que todo se dice, o nada... 'Gris llanura' nos interna en la abrumadora soledad de la llanura pampeana. 'Los lirios' es un Vals criollo inspirado y dedicado a mi propio hogar. Para cerrar la obra encontramos 'Candombe final', una enérgica danza de origen uruguayo que nos ayuda a enfrentar la vida desde un lugar diferente./ Répertoire / Guitare

Le légendaire violoniste génois Niccolò Paganini (Gênes, 27 octobre 1782 - Nice, 27 mai 1840) est probablement l'unique grand compositeur du passé à avoir voué une attention constante à la guitare et, quoiqu'il n'en ait jamais joué dans des concerts publics, divers témoignages nous sont parvenus sur son habileté de guitariste. La guitare a représenté pour le maître génois l'instrument harmonique et accompagnateur par excellence, au point qu'elle occupe dans sa production le rôle que les compositeurs de son temps confiaient normalement au piano. Paganini a écrit 140 pièces pour guitare seule et presque toutes ses oeuvres pour cordes (pour violon, principalement : sonates, duos, trios, quatuors et même certains concertos pour violon et orchestre) furent conçues avec un accompagnement de guitare. Le choix anthologique est basé sur l'intention d'extraire de cette surabondance dispersive les pièces qui représentent au mieux l'esprit et l'originalité de Paganini. De nos jours il faut, pour rendre cette musique accessible à n'importe quel interprète, la compléter par une réalisation polyphonique des parties : cette édition se conforme au style des éditeurs viennois de l'époque de Mauro Giuliani, c'est-à-dire qu'elle écrit séparément la voix supérieure et la basse, reliant tous les remplissages harmoniques à ces deux voix principales. C'est du reste à ce type d'écriture, que s'appliquent toutes les pratiques d'exécution en vigueur à cheval entre la fin du XVIIIe et les premières années du XIXe siècle. / Guitare

Par VARGAS ENRIQUE. The definitive, comprehensive explanation of both the harmonic and melodic aspects of flamenco! Flamenco Improvisation - Modal Improvisation and Melodic Construction in the Flamenco Environment by famed guitarist Enrique Vargas. This volume deals with new scales in the flamenco modal language. Some of these scales, such as the diminished, wholetone, overtone or hexatonic symmetrical, come from modern classical or jazz. Others come from ethnic modalities which are external to flamenco. The harmonic implications of these scales is analysed and their application in the flamenco environment is explained and illustrated by numerous melodic examples, both original and by renowned flamenco artists. The concept of modal substitutions is introduced and modal polytonality is explained and the notion of replicating dominant scales by minor thirds and tritones is introduced and various ways to resolve a tritone are explained. Appendix I contains a collection of 110 licks in modern penta-, hexa-, hepta- and octatonic scales. Each lick is harmonized and comes with detailed guitar fingerings. Appendix II is a complete thesaurus of vertical and horizontal guitar fingerings for every modern penta-, hexa-, hepta- and octatonic scales in flamenco, in every flamenco tonality. Each lick is recorded with harmonic accompaniment and bass. / Methods & Tutors / Etude / Guitare
