Composed by Jeremiah Lawson. Contemporary. Individual part. 21 pages. Jeremiah Lawson #6063881. Published by Jeremiah Lawson (A0.985329).

This guitar sonata is a four-movement work in open D tuning throughout.  The performance time is between 17 to 18 minutes.  I worked on this sonata from 2016 through 2019 as an homage to Blind Willie Johnson.  The movements are as follows.
I. Andante (a fugue in triple counterpoint)
II. Scherzo
III. Largo trionfante (a ragtime sonata whose recapitulation leads seamlessly into)
IV. Variations on Restoration from William Walker's Southern Harmony

The work is written in cumulative setting after the model of Charles Ives but in a Haydnesque homage to not just Blind Willie Johnson but also with musical tributes to Stevie Wonder, Bach (the triple counterpoint), Louis Armstrong and Lil Harden.  The fourth movement is a bravura set of variations on the shape note hymn Restoration that is the foundation of the entire sonata, using bottleneck technique throughout as an homage to Blind Willie Johnson.

Owing to the use of bottleneck technique and the open D tuning throughout this is a pretty tough sonata to play but it's fun to play and I've filmed myself playing through it to demonstrate its practicality in performance.

â??Willowâ?� was recorded as part of Keithâ??s album of 20 original guitar solos entitled Wintersong released in 2002. Thereâ??s also a version available with TAB on this site. 

Hereâ??s what one listener wrote of the Wintersong recording:

I have purchased almost 200 Cd's from CD Baby over the last few years, most recently were acoustic guitar. This is certainly in the top three, if not the best, of ALL the CD's I've boughtâ?¦ very pure acoustic sound. .. beautiful, flowing sound from the heart. I could listen to it over and over every day. I can't wait to hear more from this splendid artist.

A WORD FROM THE COMPOSER 

Is anyone interested in new reading material anymore? 

I know that when I was a kid in nineteen hundred and something, the quest for new musical pieces was always one of the funnest aspects of the whole musical journey. Of course I did learn that it would take a long time to  nd those few that would resonate with me for a lifetime, but it was always fun trying them all out. 

It still is, in fact. 

Well, times change and people change, but I’d still like to believe that same factor carries on. You know, the one about trying out all that music to get to the few you keep. And what about the few we do keep? For guitar players, was it always a classic from the usual suspects, like Albeniz, Sor, Tarrega,, Granados, Rodrigo, Brouwer, Barrios, Villa-Lobos, or anything by Bach?
Was it something our band director or private instructor, one of our friends, or our parents wrote? Or – Heaven forbid- something that maybe we ourselves wrote? 

Or some “unknown guy.� 

Consider this.
Just how often did some unknown composer's piece greatly affect us as we waded through a daunting pile of the familiar from the known masters? And since some, if not most of these classics are required reading, how often did we even get around to giving this unknown guy's piece a try?
And furthermore, was this unknown guy - shudder...alive? 

Let’s face it. In the composer arena, we the living, stand no chance against the deceased (God rest their souls) But by saying “they don’t write ‘em like that anymore,� are we denying ourselves new ground to be broken, doors to be opened, frontiers to be discovered? 

And isn’t that pioneering spirit just plain ol’ curiosity when it comes right down to it? 

Well I believe the key lies within the carrying out of these notions that curiosity places in us. It’s climbing the mountain simply because it is there. 

So, for right now, I’m that unknown guy and I would only urge you to break new ground every day. Lots of trends, ideas, and interests will come and go in your life, but always hang on to that curiosity. 

It’s what makes the world a smaller neighborhood. 

Larry Williams.

He's a Pirate is a musical theme written by Klaus Badelt for the Pirates of the Caribbean films (Series of adventure films about Pirates, arguably the best of its kind). He's a Pirate is featured at the end of each film and it's the first theme that you'll hear as soon as the credits roll. It takes its name from an interesting line in the film referring to Jack Sparrow He's a pirate!, exclaimed by Weatherby Swan, to which William Turner replies with And a good man!.

Professional level transcription for Duo guitars of the original J.S. Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I , Prelude and Fugue in A-Flat Major, BWV 862. 

Dear Guitar Players, let me to bring to your attention my next transcription: Prelude and Fugue in A-Flat Major, BWV 862 from the The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I by J.S.Bach. The transcription was made for duo guitars, so you can expect interesting and creative work, which may result in the emergence of a new wonderful ensemble of guitarists.

The level of this transcription is highly professional - in the guitar's score you will get the full fingering for both players, for the right and left hands. The attached midi represents the melody you will get, but, of course, the sound of midi is simple and it can't provide you the magic of the magnificent sound of the real two guitars.
So, I hope you manage to realize it!

A note about this Guitar Arrangement - This piece presents a reimagined excerpt from Felix Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto #1 in E minor, 2nd Movement. My goal in the arrangement was to stay strongly reverent to the original form and structure of the composition, but to present it in a manner that I anticipate even Mendelssohn himself would have never expected to hear his work...as a solo nylon string guitar lullaby. My hope is that you will enjoy listening to it in it's new form, and that it will help bring Felix Mendelssohn's composing work newly to the ears of folks who may not be inclined to attend Classical Symphony concerts. - Tom Salvatori, Guitar Arranger
