The present collection of guitar ensemble music was originally created for the Piedmont Guitar Orchestra (PGO) a community-oriented ensemble in North Carolina. To unite the diversity of playing levels within the orchestra eachcomposition has been arranged with parts organized into five graded levels: Guitar I is the most advanced; Guitar III is the easiest part; Guitar V with (6) tuned down to low D and Guitar II and IV are intermediate levelparts. These works though easily realized with one player per part will sound more effective with several players per part. In some instances a part marked with divisi indicates that double stops are divided by two players:one player on the upper line and another player on the lower line.
