Publisher Desc.  An ideal vehicle to teach lyrical playing in young/developing bands, "El Noi de la Mare" ("The Mother's Child") is a traditional carol of the nativity from the Spanish region of Catalonia, made famous by the Spanish guitar master Andres Segovia as an encore to his performances. Although ranges and technical demands are conservative in this Grade 1.5 arrangement, its rich harmonies, colorful instrument textures, and opportunities for dynamic shaping make it very satisfying, musically a for holiday concerts or at any time of the year.
