Large Ensemble Bouzouki,Flute,Guitar,Harpsichord,Mandolin,Piano,Violin - Digital Download SKU: A0.1017680 Composed by Gordon Jackson. Celtic,Classical,Folk,World. Score and parts. 1 pages. Gordon Jackson #6440601. Published by Gordon Jackson (A0.1017680). AppledoreThis a little piece I have – rather pretentiously – described as a pastoral. To be frank, unlike most of my compositions (jigs, reels, hornpipes, strathspeys etc), I had no particular dance form in mind when I wrote it.Appledore is scored for octave mandola (or bouzouki tuned GDAE). It could be played on mandolin, I suppose, but it’s a bit fiddley. Performance tip: try picking this with your finger, rather than with a plectrum; the 2-, 3- and 4-note chords can be played as broken chords, which makes the whole tune rather more interesting (and more of a challenge!).Appledore is a very pretty village in Kent, just north of Romney Marsh. I nearly moved there a few years ago but … didn’t.
