The original singer's part is shared between a number of instruments, most notably the two oboes and two bassoons, in a way that retains the lyricism of the piece as well as many of Mahler's orchestral colours.The original lyrics, clearly captured in the instrumental setting, were chosen by Mahler from Hans Bethge's Die chinesische Flöte. They express nostalgically the beauty of young maidens and their response to the appearance of dashing young men on horseback!

David Warin Solomons #1080739. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.1505354). Simple arrangement of Thomas Weelkes' three part madrigal Since Robin Hood, Maid Marion and Little John are gone-ahThe song follows the Shakespearean actor Will Kemp on his trip to France, dancing all the way.Kemp played the clownish characters in all of Shakespeare's productions until - eventually - the two fell out. Kemp then decided to prove the full extent of his zaniness by dancing all the way from London to Norwich in less than ten days (hence the epithet nine days' wonder). Shortly after this he took on an even more adventurous plan - to dance all the way to Italy, via France and the Alps. The book Shakespeare's Clown by David Wiles, can provide further information if required.Since Robin Hood, Maid Marian,And Little John are gone-a,The hobby horse was quite forgot,When Kemp did dance alone-a.He did labour after the tabor.For to dance then into France.He took pains to skip itIn hope of gains.He did trip itOn the toe,diddle diddle diddle doe.

Guitar,Medium-Low Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1205814 Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Simon James. Chamber,Classical,Opera. 11 pages. DML #803997. Published by DML (A0.1205814). This charming serenade is taken from Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni. Although originally a type of madrigal by the 18th century the term Canzonetta came to mean a song for voice and accompaniment, usually in a light secular style. The Canzonetta appears at the beginning of Act 2 of Don Giovanni. Wanting to seduce Donna Elvira's maid, and believing that she will trust him better if he appears in lower-class clothes, Don Giovanni orders Leporello to exchange cloak and hat with him. Leporello, posing as Don Giovanni, leads Donna Elvira away to keep her occupied while Don Giovanni serenades her maid with his mandolin - Deh, vieni alla finestra – Ah, come to the window.The original instrumentation was for mandolin and pizzicato strings and so transfers to two guitars very well. I have dropped the key from D to C as otherwise the baritone part is rather high and the key change makes it more comfortable. The guitar parts are not difficult but do need a really good sense of ensemble. I have altered the chord voicings occasionally to better suit the guitar and sometimes changed octave for guitar 1 which is essentially the mandolin part.
