Product Description
An arrangement of seven pieces from the Renaissance era by Tielmann Susato and John Dowland, for classical guitar quartet along with soprano, alto and tenor recorders. I have played these pieces in public performances, with three classical guitarists and myself playing either classical guitar or one of the recorders. Optionally the whole group could be played with four guitarists and a fifth member playing the different recorders. Additionally, my group has also included my wife playing some light ad-lib parts on bodhran (Irish-style hand drum), tambourine, and finger cymbals. Please also check
out some of my other arrangements on Sheet Music Plus for classical guitar
solo, and also duos for guitar with flute or voice : http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/john-pinno-sheet-music/3002745
The way I've performed these pieces, including myself and three guitarists:
The
Allemande gtr 1 part is played with tenor recorder playing the gtr 1 line down an octave, as shown in the tenor rec part, and on repeats, while the tenor rec. is not playing, the gtr 3 player plays the gtr 1 part, leaving the third gtr part unplayed, or the tenor recorder could play it.
The
Ronde in D minor is for gtr qt only
On the
Ronde in F major, I played the top part on an alto recorder. The
Ronde and the
Hupfauf are basically the same tune, but with different time signatures. On the
Hupfauf I played the the gtr 1 part and there was no recorder part.
For the
Hoboeckentanz I played the gtr 1 part from the provided alto recorder part, which is a plain and then ornamented version.
On the
Ronde in C major I played the gtr 1 line on soprano recorder.
The last piece in the group,
Now O Now I Needs Must Part, either the soprano recorder plays the gtr 1 part through the whole tune, or alternates with one of the guitarists, as shown in the part for soprano and gtr 1.
