Solo Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.971659 Composed by Jeffrey Hoover. 20th Century,Contemporary. Individual part. 11 pages. Musicart Publications #5793861. Published by Musicart Publications (A0.971659). Blue Wizard is inspired by American Jazz, Blues, and Flamenco traditions.  For solo classical guitar, it is 6 minutes in length.  The work begins as a Blues, with its familiar twelve-measure form and phrasing, but rapidly moves into a musical fantasy based on five-tone and modal scales heard in jazz.   The music continues to travel through a variety of moods, colors, and textures.  Ideas return and are transformed.  The closing section of Blue Wizard possesses a dancing quality, with a final push to the end.  As with other compositions by Jeffrey Hoover, there is an interpretive painting Blue Wizard, painted by the composer.Jeffrey Hoover's compositions- music ranging from soloist to symphony orchestra -have received recognition through the Universal Edition/SMP Press Contemporary Composition Award, the prestigious Trieste prize, the international Luigi Russolo competition, awards from Mu Phi Epsilon, the Lancaster Fine Arts Festival, grants, publications fellowships, and more than 25 commissions. He is a member of the ACME roster of Mu Phi Epsilon, recognized for distinguished achievement as a composer.   One unique aspect of Hoover’s work is when he combines composition with his paintings, creating synergetic art that intrigues and captivate audiences and performers alike. His paintings are seen in exhibitions and in concerts where his paintings are projected while musicians perform his music. Hoover’s background as a performer includes both classical and jazz music, as saxophonist and conductor. His book The Arts and Society: Making New Worlds is published by Kendall Hunt Publishing.Hoover was born on September 11, 1959, in Anderson, Indiana. He holds a Ph.D. in Fine Arts (Composition and Interdisciplinary Fine Arts) from Texas Tech University, as well as an M.M. and Bch.Sc. from Ball State University. His career in higher education has included both faculty and arts administration appointments.  To learn more about Jeffrey Hoover's work, or for specific inquiries about his music, guest residencies/festivals, and commissions, please visit his website:  https://jeffreyhooverart.wixsite.com/mysite

Guitar (all) - Beginning - Digital Download SKU: M0.21665EB Over 200 Old-Time Songs With Melody Line, Lyrics & Guitar Chords. Composed by Richard L. Matteson, Jr. American Music. Acoustic Music. E-book. Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music #21665EB. Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music (M0.21665EB). ISBN 9781619110991. 8.75x11.75 inches.Bill Bay asked me to write a follow up book to my last book, The Bluegrass Pickers Tune Book (20233). If you like Bluegrass music (232 songs) I'd recommend getting that book to add to your collection. The focus of this book, The Acoustic Source Book is on roots and old-time music. The book is focused on the time period from late 1800's until 1940's.There are a few songs from The Bluegrass Book that were too important to be left out. I decided not to use any patriotic and Christmas songs and came up with a list of about 400 songs which eventually was cut down to over 200. During the late 1800's and early 1900's there was an important evolution in American music; the birth of jazz, ragtime, and blues. This was also the period of the phonograph and early commercial recordings. Music from the Minstrel period as well as traditional songs were used as staple for the roots musicians. In the early 1900's there were rags, blues, gospel, Tin-Pan Alley, jug band, spiritual, old-time country and popular songs. I've tried to include some of the well-known songs from every genre to give you a big slice of Americana.There are some great songs that are popular roots, bluegrass and old-time songs today that have never been published. There are also great songs that are not well known that should be played and enjoyed.
