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.

My first original work written out in standard notation and tablature. Originally written in 2017 and played out many times. I had help correcting some of the note value/rest timing. It's correct and meant to be played as written now. Please pay close attension to the rest values. It gives the music a breathing feel if you will.
I would call it my personel musical language. The title comes from me asking a pro highly respected local musician, which is the saddest key to play in? He said D minor, hense the name. Of course it could be transposed to any key. Also my tablature is the way it evolved while playing it. I feel particularly, that the turn-around sounds best played in tha 5th fret position.
It was written as a solo guitar piece but it could be the head for any minor key blues played with other musicians. I hope you will enjoy it. I certainly do! 
Thank you!

For guitar and two voices, as originally performed by John Prine and Iris DeMent. The guitar part is written in both tablature and traditional notation, to be played using Travis picking or alternating-thumb style. Chord symbols are also written for musicians who prefer to strum or play other instruments. In Spite of Ourselves is one of my favorite songs to play and sing with friends. I’ve written exact notes and rhythm, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to have fun with. Enjoy!

Composed by Chinese traditional. Arranged by Jack Evans. Folk,World. Guitar Tab. 9 pages. Jack Stanley Evans #6274353. Published by Jack Stanley Evans (A0.964321).

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.
