Seven Pieces
Publisher Desc.
This collection of two originals and five arrangements for solo guitar
makes an effective suite for performance. Bagatelle, a more abstract piece
from this collection, extensively uses the icampanellai effect. I have
made The Trees They Grow So High, an English folk song with a beautifully
lilting melody, into a set of variations. And who does not want a classy new
version of Happy Birthday, here dressed up in an elegant jazz sound, for
those black-tie occasions?
With chords in the top three strings, Meadowbrook has the melody on the
bass strings. Speak Low, Kurt Weill's hauntingly exquisite song, is the
centerpiece of the film Phoenix where Nina Hoss sings it so stunningly.
Somewhere Over The Rainbow, is a new addition to the many fine guitar
arrangements of this iconic song, and Start Spreadin' The News, a take on
Frank Sinatra's signature tune New York, New York, is an arrangement I wrote
for a guitarist friend for his Carnegie Hall debut.
I hope you will enjoy playing and performing the seven pieces collected in
this volume.
