Solo Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1254418 By Thelonious Monk. By Bernie Hanighen, Cootie Williams, and Thelonious Monk. Arranged by Fabio Madureira. Classical,Historic,Jazz,Singer/Songwriter,Standards. Individual part. 3 pages. FABIO MADUREIRA #847991. Published by FABIO MADUREIRA (A0.1254418). This is an arrangement of 'round Midnight by Thelonius Monk, for classical guitar, in E minor. Including variations on the main melody, a full harmony and developing bass lines. It was lovingly made for a guitar student of mine, who really liked this song when I showed it to her. This arrangement can be used by guitar teachers to improve their students' technique, since I have placed the fingerings of the notes and the positions in the tablatures. It is also a very pleasant piece to play due to the choice of key in E minor and the use of the instrument's open strings.

Guitar (fingerpicking) - Intermediate-Advanced - Digital Download SKU: M0.22041EB Seven Contemplative Guitar Solos Written in Free-Form Style. Composed by William Bay. Style. Contemporary. E-book and online audio. Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music #22041EB. Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music (M0.22041EB). ISBN 9781619111653. 8.75x11.75 inches.Timeless Solos is a play on words. The solos in this volume contain no time signatures or bar lines. I did this because I wanted the solos to be very expressive in interpretation yet free-form in structure. The companion recording presents my interpretation of these works. You may interpret them differently and that is fine! All solos are in notation and tablature. When writing these solos I first envisioned the form as an extended cadenza. However, from my earlier trumpet playing days I recalled that, especially in the 19th century, a cadenza was a momentary break in a solo which gave the performer a chance to dazzle the audience with his or her virtuosity. These solos are not about that. Rather, they are a vehicle to give the guitarist an opportunity to move the listener with the performer's expressive ability. I also thought of these solos in the form of a chant. However, most chants are monophonic in form and these solos in various parts present a fairly lush harmonic structure. While the solos were written for a 7 string guitar, they may be played successfully on a 6 string guitar. Alternate notes for those found on the 7th string are shown in the tablature part. Also, the solo, Peace, is written in Dropped D tuning and makes little use of the 7th string pedal tones. The solos are contemplative in nature and provide ample opportunity for individual expression and interpretation. I hope you enjoy playing and performing these works.

Vals Venezolano No. 2 or 'Andreina' as it is also known belongs to a set of waltzes composed by the Venezuelan classical guitarist & composer extraordinaire Antonio Lauro. This particular piece belongs to a collection of his waltzes known rather unimaginatively as 'Quattro Vals Venezolanos' or 'Four Venezuelan Waltzes' probably named by the original publisher.Antonio Lauro (August 3, 1917 – April 18, 1986) was a Venezuelan musician, considered to be one of the foremost South American composers for the guitar in the 20th century.The works of Antonio Lauro have long been very popular with guitarists worldwide, yet there have been few recordings devoted exclusively to him. However, several recordings by Adam Holzman, John Williams (guitarist) and David Russell have been issued. John Williams is quoted as having referred to Antonio Lauro as being the Strauss of the guitar. Another recording worth mentioning, A Tribute to Antonio Lauro by Thomas Cronin (guitarist), recorded initially for Irish National Radio on the RTE label, gained great appeal with Venezuelans worldwide.Additionally, Lauro's masterpieces have been the core of studies, workshops and Masters in universities all around the World.
