SKU: A0.1442076

Composed by Arbeau, George Frideric Handel, Jacques Offenbach, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Luigi Boccherini. Arranged by Thomas Preece. Baroque,Classical,Renaissance. 47 pages. Preece Music #1022071. Published by Preece Music (A0.1442076).

This book contains five pieces arranged for a ukulele quartet of soprano (high G), tenor (low G) and baritone ukuleles and classical guitar. The main principle of the book is that when multiple instruments are played in harmony, the individual parts don't need to be particularly complicated to produce an interesting musical effect. The arrangements have therefore been kept simple, so as to be playable by the widest range of players -- especially the guitar parts, which are intended to be manageable for ukulele players who also play a bit of guitar, rather than necessarily needing an experienced guitarist.

The arrangements are all presented first as a score in standard musical notation, and then as parts in both standard notation and tablature. They should be reasonably accessible to players of all abilities, with the accompaniment parts (tenor and baritone) generally being simpler than the melodies.

As an experienced classroom music teacher, two of the main difficulties I have faced have been:

* having the time to arrange music for standard classroom instruments such as keyboards, ukuleles, guitars, tuned percussion etc.

* finding suitable arrangements of Western Classical pieces to contribute to a broad and balanced curriculum

The Classroom Ensemble Series meets both of these problems head on, providing approachable yet challenging arrangements which are tailor-made for a large classroom ensemble. Each piece includes a score and parts as follows:

Melody (treble clef)

Melody plus note names (treble clef)

Melody (ukulele tab)

Melody (guitar tab)

Bass part (bass clef)

Bass part plus note names (bass clef)

Bass part (bass guitar tab)

Easy piano part (treble and bass clefs)

Standard piano part (treble and bass clefs)

Chords (chord shapes with chord names, e.g. Dm)

Chords (ukulele tabs and chord shapes)

Chords (guitar tabs and chord shapes)

This arrangement of The Entertainer enables all students within a classroom, regardless of ability, to make clear progress on one or more of the parts provided. You can use the YouTube video above as a backing track within the classroom, helping the students to play together and freeing you up to teach. Or you can lead the session yourself.

Composed by Antonio Rotta. Arranged by Michael P. Walker. Renaissance. Score. 182 pages. Michael P Walker #6071635. Published by Michael P Walker (A0.810031).

Here are 48 lute compositions from the Renaissance by Antonio Rotta, (1495-1549) who was an Italian lutenist, composer, and music teacher of the Renaissance period in Padua which was part of the Republic of Venice and renowned for its university.  Canon Scardeonius of Padua wrote in 1560 that Rotta was not only virtually unrivaled in Italy as a lutenist, but was also an excellent teacher and had grown quite rich by giving lessons on the lute. 

 

    These pieces have been transcribed for the baritone ukulele, Renaissance guitar, low G ukelele, and many other four-course instruments.  Of course, they may all be played on the guitar.

This book presents 37 pieces of Renaissance guitar music transcribed for solo fingerstyle ukulele together with the author’s recordings of every transcription. Moreover, a generous introduction provides a brief history of the Renaissance guitar, tips on period ornamentation and musicianship, recommended recordings, and invaluable resources for further research of your own.

Throughout Europe, the Renaissance guitar was a popular instrument in the middle of the sixteenth century. Its composers left us a treasure-trove of music, from rustic dances to chansons and elaborate fantasias. Five-hundred years later, this music fits beautifully on the Renaissance guitar’s musical descendant, the ukulele.

The Renaissance guitar and the ukulele share an almost identical tuning. As the transcriptions in this book are written in standard notation and tablature, any type of ukulele, from soprano to baritone—as well as the top four strings of the guitar— can be used to play them.

Most of the pieces are in standard gCEA or GCEA tuning; the seven pieces in the second section of the book, however, require low-G tuning to render the counterpoint as written. It’s also possible for guitar and baritone uke players to read the tablature provided. The music will sound a perfect 4th lower than the notation, but as there was no standard pitch in the time of the Renaissance guitar, modern players should feel no obligation to play this music at fixed pitch. If you wish to read from the tablature and sound in the same key as the notation for ensemble purposes, guitar and baritone uke players merely need to place a capo at the fifth fret. With a certain sense of historical irony, the music of the Renaissance guitar is here reborn on modern fretted instruments.
