Important: This include two versions, a heavily notated version, and a blank version.


1. Added tablature.
2. Fingerings added (Counterintuitive fingerings are left blank for the performer to realize first hand that it will be an awkard passage).
3. Chord nomenclature added
4. Fonts made larger and more appealing
5. Position and Bar markings added

Tips:
1. Measure 13 is a good example of melodic minor as scale degrees 6 and 7 are rasied by a half step on an upward scale run, and then lowered on the way back down.
2. Measures 23-27 is an example of a sequence. I recommend making the catchiness and repetition as obvious as possible as the audience is expecting the sequence to complete. For example, if there is a slur happening on a certain beat, I'll make sure it is mantained for every repetition, which is why measure 20 is more difficult with a fretted B instead of an open string. It's more work, but it sounds better to my ears.
3. There is a certain order that the right hand fingers should be following depending on if you are going to thicker or thinner strings. Since this is an etude designed to get a player used to classical guitar technique, it made sense to show the a novice finger-style player which right hand fingers to use and when. Example: 2nd thinnest to thinnest string...Should be i m...not m i

To Do:
1. Theoretical explanations in the score? Especially on the heavily notated version?

Silver Clouds Chasing the Moon

Silver Clouds Chasing the Moon was composed in 1935 for the EMI Chinese orchestra by Ren Guang and Nie Er. It is also known by the title: Colourful Clouds Chasing the Moon, which creates the image of a colourful (or silver) night sky, in which the clouds and moon chase each other. The moon is an important symbol for Chinese people, who have a custom of worshipping it, dating back 3,000 years. Every year, the mid-autumn festival is held in China, on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, which usually falls in September. During this festival, Chinese people celebrate with their families and admire the full moon whilst eating ‘moon cakes’. Colourful Clouds Chasing the Moon is commonly performed during this festival and is also used by Chinese cake shops to advertise moon cakes, which increases its association with the mid-autumn festival and popularity amongst Chinese people. As well as being used to sell cakes, this piece is a staple of Chinese instrumental repertoire and has been arranged for a number of different instruments and ensembles, including solo piano, solo guzheng, guitar duo, harp duo, and wine glasses.

This guitar arrangement is quite challenging; it includes a lot of intricate lines and arpeggios. Play the semiquaver sextuplets in the intro by dragging the thumb across the bottom three strings and quickly plucking each of the top three strings individually with the first three fingers. Most of this piece is played with standard classical fingerpicking technique, apart from the tapped arpeggios in bars 36 and 37.

The East is Red

Based on a traditional folk melody from Shaanxi province in northern China, this song’s lyrics were rewritten twice; firstly in 1944, to describe the Chinese struggle against Japanese occupation, and again in 1949, as a hymn to Chairman Mao. It later became the title song of a Chinese Communist film and served as the country’s unofficial national anthem during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976).

This technically straightforward and uncluttered arrangement allows the famous melody to be clearly heard, so ensure to articulate every note as clearly and expressively as possible. Aim for a steady build of emotion and volume throughout.

One of the most famous pieces of Chinese classical music, this composition was originally written for solo Pipa and has been popular since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It was previously known as Pipa of Xunyang, and Flute and Drum Music at Dusk, before it was given its current name in 1925. The name Moonlit Night on the Spring River is derived from a Tang Dynasty (618-907) poem by Zhang Ruoxu, which is very well regarded in China. The poem describes a scene of moonlight reflecting on the surface of a river in spring.

Moonlit Night on Spring River is written in a multi-sectional form, with each section noticeably different to the others but with some recurring phrases which tie the whole composition together. Although it was originally composed for pipa, this guitar arrangement is based on a version for guzheng, which is a relative of the guqin, but with 21 strings and moveable bridges. The tuning for this arrangement is DGBEAD, from the lowest to highest string. As with Moon Over Guan Mountain, this arrangement is scored one tone higher, as if the third and fourth strings have been detuned by a semitone. I used a mixture pick, fingers, and hybrid picking to play this arrangement, with the fast, single note lines played with a pick and the loud chordal passages with hybrid picking. The quieter sections use fingers only.

Liuyang River

The Liuyang river is a section of the Xiangjiang river in China’s Hunan province; the original composition contains lyrics praising the beautiful scenery surrounding the river.

This arrangement begins with the song’s melody played in the guitar’s low register with very sparse harmony, in an attempt to evoke the sound of a guqin; this section should be performed quietly but confidently and with a lot of rubato, almost as if the melody is being improvised by a guqin player. Be careful to maintain clear separation between melody and accompaniment, great importance is given to purity of melody in Chinese music so make sure that every note is given its full duration. Articulate all of the legato phrases smoothly throughout in order to create the impression of the flowing Liuyang River.
