Acoustic Guitar,Bouzouki,Instrumental Duet - Level 4 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1451980

Composed by Socrates Arvanitakis. Classical,Contemporary. 12 pages. Socrates Arvanitakis #1031295. Published by Socrates Arvanitakis (A0.1451980).

This is a duet dance for 3-course bouzouki (Tuning: D3-A3-d4) and classical guitar. This bouzouki 3 course instrument as depicted in the photos provided, does not exist in Sibelius lists of instruments, therefore a mandolin sound is chosen for it.
Nikriz mode is a chromatic behaviour of a diatonic Aeolian (ancient Hypodorian) mode with raised 4th and 7th degrees.
Zeibekiko is a very ancient Greek dance rhythm in 9/4 (more rarely 9/8) with unequal groupings such as 2+2+2+3 and its variants. Some linguists say that its name is associated with the God Zeus and denoting his dual substance. It also is probably the most popular dance in modern day Greece.

Appledore

This 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.

Composed by Filippo Azzaiolo. Arranged by Gordon Jackson. Classical,Folk,Multicultural,Renaissance,World. Score and parts. 8 pages. Gordon Jackson #6435525. Published by Gordon Jackson (A0.1017675).

Chi passa per ’sta strada

The sixteenth-century Italian composer, Filippo Azzaiolo (1530-1569), published three books of villotas (secular songs). In the first of these, Primo libro de villotte alla padoana a quattro voci, the first song (also the most popular) was Chi passa per ’sta strada (He who passes down this street). An exquisite chord sequence provide the basis for a simple melody, together with a set of variations I composed.

The left-hand part (quite odd really, as I don’t play any keyboard instrument, but I’m sure you know what I mean!) shows the chords as I would play them on an octave mandola or a bouzouki (both tuned GDAE, one octave below mandolin or violin), and the chord diagrams show my fingerings for these. Other accompanists can simply use the chords’ letter names, also included, and work out their own fingerings/voicings. However, I strongly recommend keeping accompaniment simple and percussive, accentuating the rhythm, allowing the mandolin or other lead instrument space in which to play those variations.

Composed by Antonio Valente. Arranged by Gordon Jackson. Classical,Folk,Multicultural,Renaissance,World. Score and parts. 3 pages. Gordon Jackson #6435535. Published by Gordon Jackson (A0.1017676).

Lo Ballo dell 'Intorcia

Antonio Valente (c1520-c1580) was an Italian organist and composer. In 1576 he published a collection entitled Intavolatura di Cimbalo, which contained Lo Ballo dell ’Intorcia (Intorcia’s Dance).

Lo Ballo begins very simply – deceptively simply – building around a lovely repeating chord pattern. But watch out – if you start off too quickly, those variations will tie your fingers into Gordian knots! The chord voicings are for octave mandola/bouzouki but can easily be adapted to any accompanying instrument – just keep those repeating chords in a simple rhythm. Just listening to this piece can leave you breathless!

Rufty Tufty

This is a country dance from Playford’s English Dancing Master of 1651. I have arranged it with the tune played through three times, first the basic melody, second with (mandolin) double stops, third with chords voiced for octave mandola or bouzouki, tuned GDAE.

In the seventeenth century a rufty tufty was a rough, tough person. Today, it sounds like a child’s soft toy. That’s what four hundred years’ linguistic evolution can do. Hey ho.

Staines Morris

The song, Staines Morris, is very well known by singers of traditional songs. It’s a 17th century song. It’s a 19th century song. Actually, it’s both! The lyrics were certainly published, and probably written, by Robert Cox for his play Actaeon and Diana, published in 1656. The tune was first published in John Playford’s The English Dancing Master in 1651. There is no evidence that, in the 17th century, the lyrics were sung to this melody. That didn’t happen for two hundred years, when William Chappell put the two together for his Popular Music of the Olden Time, vol. 1 (1859).

I have added chords to the melody. Whilst humming the tune to myself, I found myself moving into 6/8 time, and that inspired me to compose a galliard based on it, complete with ‘divisions’ (runs of semiquavers or 32nd notes) and counterpoint.

The song melody and the galliard can be played separately or as parts of one piece, perhaps with the galliard played between two of the verses. I put the galliard in A minor, to provide a contrast with the D minor song melody, but play them in whatever key takes your fancy.

I have also added below the lyrics, as most often sung today.



Come ye young men, come along
With your music, dance and song
Bring your lasses in your hands
For ’tis that which love commands

  Then to the Maypole haste away
  For ’tis now our holiday

It is the choice time of the year
For the violets now appear
Now the rose receives its birth
And the pretty primrose decks the earth

And when you well reckoned have
What kisses you your sweetheart gave
Take them all again, and more
It will never make them poor

When you thus have spent your time
And the day be past its prime
To your beds repair at night
And dream there of your day’s delight
