When The Saints Go Marching In arranged for two guitars (electric or acoustic) and bass guitar in the key of D. The playback tempo is 100 half note or minim beats to the minute whilst the music is notated in cut time. Traditional American music songs such as “When The Saints Go Marching In” are excellent pieces for developing an understanding of the style elements associated with the performance of 20th century popular music. There is opportunity for players to explore the arrangement - the bass line played by the bass player is open to being played with some rhythmic variation particularly during the playing of the repeat sections. Many melodies and lyrics that are recognised as spirituals are often a synthesis of several songs that had their origins as work songs before, during and after the American Civil War. Songs sung from the 1850’s and onwards were perhaps published around 1918 and then first recorded in the 1920’s. The history of the song is well documented and many there are performances to be discovered embracing a range of styles and different types of performing group. There are TAB scores for the Guitar 1 part and bass guitarist whilst chord shapes are indicated in the Guitar 2 part.These are appended to the full score. The accompaniment mp3 features a string bass in the playback. Close

The hornpipe is found in the folk music of England, Scotland and Ireland and has a traditional association with sailors in that dancing was used on long sea journeys to keep personnel fit. Hornpipes are usually associated with other hornpipes in a performance context in what is described as a dance set. This arrangement is notated conventionally and players will move on to possibly explore the folk rock style in their ensemble playing. The realisation plays at 132 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute and the hornpipe is in AB (Binary) form. The music needs to be played with a triplet feel as demonstrated in the realisation. The repeats are not played in the realisation and there is no ornamentation of the melodic line. The score is presented with minimal score detail as is usually the case with folk music. Understand that the playing of ornaments whilst very relevant in repetitive music of this kind requires a special study and is governed by the instrument being played, the music tradition represented and sometimes geography/locality. A study of ornamentation in folk music the music editor suggests is not for the faint-hearted! There are also examples of hornpipes in baroque music including Handel’s Water Music. Three accompaniments are available, with repeats, with the bass guitar playing the bass line at tempi of (1) 110 (2) 120 and (3) 132 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. There is two bar click track introduction before the music starts to play. Close

This is an excellent ensemble piece in that it allows for great flexibility in instrument combinations. In this arrangement for two mandolins, acoustic guitars and acoustic or electric bass in G the realisation tempo is 76 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute whilst the repeats are not played. Individual instrument parts are appended to the full score. What is interesting about performing this piece is the impact of a change of tempo on the musical character and musical outcomes. A tempo of 70 quarter note beats to the minute sounds quite slow and yet 80 quarter note beats to the minute sounds fast. Generally, there is not a great amount of performance detail indicated in ragtime music although where opportunity arises when repeating sections performers need to explore dynamic range. The formal pattern of Joplin’s ragtime pieces generally have the structure of the typical American March which can be represented by letters as I AA BB AA CC DD. Close

A parlour song by Stephen Foster dating from 1854 and whilst it has become a favourite, the song was not a commercial success and hardly known in Foster's own lifetime. A version by the violinist Heifetz became very popular in the 1940's. The musical arrangement retains the harmonic outline of Stephen Foster's song although some of the rhythmic detail of the melody has been edited. The small ornamental notes, apart from the acciaccaturas (crushed notes), in the melody line of the arrangement are optional and do not sound in the realisation. Individual instrument parts are appended to the full score and bass could be either an electric or acoustic instrument. Close

This very familiar character piece dating from 1907 was originally composed in standard march form but the musical content has since been rearranged. In this arrangement for flute, acoustic guitar and bass (electric or upright) in the key of C a tempo of 96 dotted quarter notes is used in the realisation. Instrumentalists have the option of playing a shortened form of the piece ending on the first eighth note (quaver) of bar 88 or playing the repeat section as demonstrated in the realisation. There isn't too much score detail in the arrangement and as the music originates as a march understandably in a performance there is not much variation of the tempo. In this realisation note that an upright bass is used but this can be easily substituted. Close

Mozart's Minuet in F in an arrangement for tenor saxophone and bass guitar in the original key of F. The bass guitar part is both conventionally notated and also has a TAB chart whilst the tenor saxophone part is appropriately transposed. Mozart's piece is of a simply structured binary form movement. The minuet is a dance of French origin in 3/4 time and in an expanded form became important in the Classical era by being incorporated into many symphonies. The K numbers associated with Mozart scores refers to the Köchel or catalogue numbers that describe the chronologically order of his compositions. This catalogue was created some fifty years after the composers death and K2 understandably is his second published work composed when he was 6. Close

Nazareth (1863 -1934) was a Brazilian composer and pianist whose music transcribes very well from the piano to popular contemporary instruments. His compositional style absorbs many different influences Brazilian, European, African and ragtime. He composed tangos, waltzes, polkas, sambas, galops, Scottisches and fox-trots and although classically trained was very familiar with the popular musical idioms of his day both at home and abroad. Brejeiro is described as a tango and the English translation of the Portugese word Brejeiro is impish meaning fun or mischevous. A tempo of 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested. Some of the chord voicings in the guitar parts have been changed and there are some octave transpositions in the melody where the range of the solo instrument proves limiting. The TAB parts for the acoustic and bass guitar means that the score is quite cluttered so I would advise switching to the non TAB score when the music has been learnt. If an accordion is not available a keyboard instruments with an accordion/free reed sound can be used. Close

This is shortened version of Mozart's Alla turca in an arrangement for a café style type of ensemble comprising accordion, guitar and bass. In the realisation both guitars are electric and if a accordionist is not available then another instrument, at pitch, could be substituted. It should be an easy piece to learn in that it one of the the most immediately recognisable and popular pieces of music in the repetoire. It was Mozart himself who titled the piece Alla turca (Turkish March) as the music was intended to imitate the sounds of the instruments in the then familiar Turkish military bands. Understood to have been composed in 1783, a tempo in the range 100 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested for a café/contintental style type ensemble which is a bit slower than the than recommended. It is a very adaptable piece stylistically and in the repetoire of classical musicians, folk bands, jazz groups and café style ensembles. Close

This is shortened version of Mozart's Alla turca in an arrangement for two guitars and bass. In the realisation the melody and bass are played by electric guitars and the accompaniment by an acoustic. The arrangement invites a mix and match approach as to whether electric or acoustic instruments are used. It should be an easy piece to learn in that it one of the the most immediately recognisable and popular pieces of music in the repetoire. It was Mozart himself who titled the piece Alla truce (Turkish March) as the music was intended to imitate the sounds of the instruments in the then familiar Turkish military bands. Understood to have been composed in 1783, a tempo in the range 110-120 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested. It is a very adaptable piece stylistically and in the repetoire of classical musicians, folk bands, jazz groups and café style ensembles. In the realisation one guitar has steel strings whilst the other has nylon to enhance the tonal contrast. Close

This is an attractive piece which has in the recent past been used as the basis for a pop tune. In this arrangement for flute, acoustic guitar and bass guitar, of the first section of the piece, the melody is played by the flute while the arpeggio chords are played by the acoustic guitar supported by a bass guitar. A tempo of 100 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested and the flute has the option of playing the melody up an octave on the repeat. Both guitar parts have TAB support. The rondo was composed by Clementi, known in his own time as a teacher, composer, performer and even as a manufacturer of pianos spending most of his adult life living in England. His Opus 36 Sonatinas are a rich source of music for piano players. A rondo is a piece with a recurring theme although only the A or first section is featured in this improver arrangement intended to introduce players of these instruments to ensemble playing. Close

This very popular tango dates from 1903. The English translation of El Choclo is the "The Ear of Corn". The instruments specified are electric guitar & bass guitar but these could be substituted by acoustic instruments. The slur markings appear in the conventionally notated music score but not the TAB version. Players once they are familiar with the music can introduced and apply some guitar techniques characteristic of the instrument - "pull offs" and "hammer ons" - to the melody line. However, it may also be necessary to change some of the TAB positions and strings currently specified to ensure consistency in the playing approach. This is probably quite a challenge for an improver level guitarist but the TAB support should help and the triplet figuration has been omitted. A tempo of 60-66 quarter note (crotchet) notes to the minute is recommended. Ãngel Villoldo (1861-1919) was an Argentinian composer and a pioneer of tango which became very popular from both the music and dancing point of view towards the end of the nineteenth century. It is popular today both in Argentina from where it originates and is a familiar and recognisable music style around the world. Close

This arrangement is for banjo, acoustic guitar and bass guitar with each instrument part having TAB. As such it is quite a long score so that when the parts are familiar I would suggest switching to the other version of this piece without TAB. The polka is a lively characterful dance that originated from the area now known as the Czech Republic (Bohemia) and its popularity spread widely throughout Europe and subsequently North and South America. The dance is upbeat and celebratory in character and written in 2/4 time. Foster's Soirée Polka is an appealing and rhythmic piece suited to being played by a wide range of instruments and instrumental groups although the musical material needs to be played lightly. A tempo of 110 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is recommended. Stephen Foster (1826-1864) is known as the father of American music, responsible for writing over 200 songs many of which are still very well known today. His My Old Kentucky Home has been the official state song of Kentucky since 1928. He began composing as a teenager and attempted to live his life as a professional songwriter at a time before copyright laws protected a composers work so it was impossible for him to earn a decent living.

Ignacio Cervantes (1847 - 1905) was a Cuban pianist and composer and his music is an early example of nationalism. Los Tres Golpes (The Three Strikes) originally composed for piano is one of his Danzas Cubanas exploring the habanera rhythm. It is a short piece usually played through twice in a performance. It has a haunting quality and is suited to being played by a number of different instrument combinations. His music combines Cuban, European and African elements and he was fortunate in being able to travel to Paris to further his music studies studying with Charles-Valentin Alkan and others. A tempo of 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested. Close

An arrangement for electric and bass guitar of this minuet from the Anna Magdalena Notebook transcribed to the key of A minor and like most dance music from this era in AB or binary form. The movement has a haunting quality and like so much of the music from the collection it is a great study piece for students and can be played by a combination of different instruments. Keep the eighth notes (quavers) as even as possible and a tempo of around 116 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested. Close

This is a simplified and shortened version of one of J.S.Bach's famous pieces based on a chorale (hymn) melody arranged for electric or acoustic guitar and bass guitar with both notated and tab parts. There is a strong bass line and this is combined with the figuration gives the movement both character and appeal. This two part version has been notated in 9/8 time (three dotted quarter note beats to the bar) and provides very good opportunities to develop ensemble playing. Bach's music demands that performers have secure technical ability and this piece is ideal for developing a fluent and flowing playing style. Close

The rhythmic shapes sound modern and not surprisingly the movement has been subject to being arranged by a number of contemporary performing groups in a variety of styles. Close

Whilst conceived as solo keyboard pieces the Inventions work really well when played as ensemble pieces and this arrangement for electric guitar and bass with tab is in the original key (F major). This busy uplifting movement requires a good technique and level of musicianship to be played accurately and at the recommended tempo of 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. The players are not confined to playing the notes in the positions specified in the TAB charts as the guitar offers choices as to where notes can be played. Close

Arranged for electric guitar and electric bass with conventional notation and TAB this particular this example shouldn't be played too quickly and a tempo of around 60 half note (minim) beats to the minute is suggested. The musical lines are of equal performance and technical difficulty and make it an ideal ensemble piece for a guitar duo. The realisation is lacking in tonal contrast. Close

An arrangement for electric guitar and electric bass guitar in the key of D minor for this music originally conceived as a keyboard piece. This flowing and reflective movement which should be played at a tempo which gives the music an uplifting feel rather a plodding one. A tempo of 72 dotted eighth note beats (dotted quaver) to the minute is suggested. These pieces are excellent for developing secure performing technique and an understanding of compositional techique in the baroque era. Both parts are notated in traditionally notated with TAB.

Whilst conceived as solo keyboard pieces the Two Part Inventions work really well when played as ensemble pieces and this particular work can be played successfully by a number of different instrument combinations. Remember that in this style of music every note is important so a secure technique is essential. Whilst the realisations have a tempo of 72 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute the movement can be performed at tempi both faster and slower than this. The conventionally notated scores are supported by TAB. Close
