21 Pieces for Violin with Guitar

Scored by Thomas F. Heck for solo violin with classical guitar accompaniment, this collection includes pieces from Volumes 1-3 of the Suzuki Violin School. Heck, himself a guitarist and Suzuki parent, intended the arrangements to serve as interesting alternative accompaniments to the Violin School repertoire. The contrapuntal interest and enriched timbral possibilities of the violin-with-guitar combination result in unusually appealing chamber music performance pieces suited for young musicians. The intermediate-to-advanced level classical guitar notation is supplemented by chord symbols to enable non-classically trained guitarists to accompany the violin line. Contents are: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Theme and Variations (Shinichi Suzuki); Song of the Wind (Folk Song); Go Tell Aunt Rhody (Folk Song); O Come, Little Children (Folk Song); May Song (Folk Song); Long, Long Ago (T.H. Bayly); Allegro (Shinichi Suzuki); Three Minuets from Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach (J.S. Bach); Chorus from Judas Maccabaeus (G.F. Handel); Gavotte (F.J.
