‘Lachrimæ or Seven Tears figured in Seven passionate pavans, with divers other pavans, galliards and allemands, set forth for the lute, viols, or violons, in five parts’
is a collection of instrumental music composed by John Dowland and published in 1604. Apart from the sheer quality of the music, it is notable as the first publication of English music scored specifically for strings and for lute, and the first to have used the table layout for consort music.

There are seven Lachrimae pavans, which are variations on the theme that Dowland had already made famous as a lute solo and a song (“Flow my tears”).
The “divers other” compositions are: two almans (“almands”), nine lively galliards (“galiards”), two sombre pavans, and a “funerall.” 

There are 21 pieces in all and I have divided them into three books, retaining the original ordering of the pieces.

This is Book Three - five galliards and two almans:
1.     Mr Giles Hoby, his Galliard
2.     Mr Nicholas Gryffith, his Galliard
3.     Mr Thomas Collier, his Galliard
4.     Captain Piper, his Galliard
5.     Mr Bucton, his Galliard
6.     Mistress Nichol’s Alman
7.     Mr George Whitehead, his Alman

 Time values have been halved, and in several cases (Nos. 9,12,15,16,17,20,21), I have transposed the key to a more guitar-friendly key.

This work for string quartet in B Major is No.6 of a set Major scale exercises in all 12 major keys. The focus of the study is varied divisions of the beat using whole notes, half notes, quarter notes and eighth notes. The exercise will also help understand articulation, tone and dynamics. A steady cycle through all 12 keys will help further an understanding of keys, key signatures and harmonic relationships.
Guitarist Neal Fitzpatrick has a B.M. from the Hartt School where he studied with Alan Spriestersbach and his M.M. from The Yale School of Music where he studied with Benjamin Verdery. He also studied  extensively with Sharon Isbin and Sal Salvador. Based in Connecticut, he is active as a soloist and in the chamber music scene.

Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Richard Hirsch. Folk,Instructional,Multicultural,Traditional,World. Individual part. 5 pages. Richard Hirsch #203776. Published by Richard Hirsch (A0.594506).

An arrangement of the Flamenco Soleares style (palo) for the dance (baile). The musical material for the arrangement is taken from standard traditional themes for the Soleares style of Flamenco. The arrangement is meant for guitarists and students of guitar that are new to Flamenco and want to learn the basics for one of the most important palos in Flamenco. The arrangement can be used to accompany a solo dance, customary in serious (jondo) Flamenco, often performed by a woman dancer. The Soleares rhythm consists of a repetition of a twelve beat phrase the Flamencos refer to as a compás where accents fall on the third, sixth, eight, tenth, and twelfth beats of the phrase (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12). I notate the compás as a series of five measures that comprises two 3/4 measures followed by three 2/4 measures. Throughout the notation there is, therefore, a fluctuating between two measures in 3/4 and three measures in 2/4 time. The first beat of the compás falls on the second beat of the first 3/4 measure in the series and the first accented beat falls on the first beat of the second 3/4 measure. The sixth, eight, and tenth accented beats fall on the first beats of the 2/4 measures in the series. The twelfth beat falls on the first beat of the next series beginning with a 3/4 measure. Notating the compás in this manner allows the guitarist a total grasp of the underlying structure of the music, something that is often lost in other notations I have studied for Soleares. A command of the compás is essential for the guitarist to be able to work with Flamenco singers and dancers. The Soleares is a stately dance that moves at a moderate pace, but often ends in a finale (macho por Bulerías) that is more than twice as fast as the first sections of the dance. The finale also contains a key change from the Phrygian mode of the llamadas and corridas to the key of E major. The arrangement contains essential basic techniques for Flamenco guitar, the rasqueado, the legato with hammering on, the four finger tremolo that rips at the strings before a full chord with the thumb, alzapúa where the thumb strikes in triplets down, up, down in rapid succession, etc. Students should dedicate themselves to a close and careful study of the notation to gain full mastery of these techniques. The arrangement consists of several sections, the llamadas which are calls to the dancer to take the stage, corridas where the dancer moves in a circle executing various heel and toe steps together with hand, arm, and body gestures, and the macho where the dance ends in a storm of stamping and a fit of wild abandon. The corrida sections consist of melodies Flamencos call “falsetas�. One of these is simply a series of broken chords while another is a melody taken from a song called “Caña� that is a member of the Soleares family. The notation ends, as is prescribed for the dance, on the tenth beat of the last compás (the first beat of the last 2/4 measure in the last five measure series). The Soleares was the first palo my maestro Juan González “Triguito� introduced me to in my studies with him in Madrid in the late 1960’s and is considered to be the “mother� of true forms of Flamenco. The title of the arrangement is in celebration of the beautiful patios of Córdoba, home of the Flamenco palo Soleares.

In working on concepts to break away from some of the more tonal aspects of music, I have been working on some exercises focused on scales that are not utilized in a classical sense, which brings us to this file.

The whole-tone scale series uses the concept in the name: only whole steps, no half steps. For guitar, the best way to visualize the scale is by performing this scale by picking a string and playing only the even frets or odd frets on that string in order (0-2-4-6-8-10-12 or 1-3-5-7-9-11-13) to get that string's basic whole tone scale. This sheet music exercises the C and C# whole tone scales as they are the common anchors of whole tone scales, working all six strings and some techniques to maneuver appropriately. With this you get the two whole-tone scales and two exercises in each of the keys to get started on a less standard procedure! Enjoy!!!
