Great Music from the Renaissance and Baroque. These 33 great pieces will Capture your Imagination
This book came about because I have had many requests for more early dance music. Many of the pieces in this book are from the Playford collections. The Playford collections were published in the early Baroque period, but many of the pieces in the books already existed
in the Renaissance. They are used by dance groups and also by many people for Renaissance Fairs and re-enactments. I have also used other sources to have more of a variety of music. The Playford collections were always being revised, changed and republished. If you have one of the earlier printed editions, the music in a later edition is going to have different music from the previous editions. Pieces disappear and others take their place. There is also detailed instruction on how to do the dances in the “Dancing Master.” The point of the music in this book is the same as always. I want to find pieces that you cannot stop playing. I want to addict you to the Music!
Comes With a Compact Disc of the Pieces Performed by Allan Alexander
The CD, played by Allan Alexander, gives the musician the advantage of being able to hear how these songs can be played and will make the learning process easier. This is a high quality Digital recording (DDD). In addition to helping the player become familiar with the music, it will also be a source of listening pleasure. You can also turn down either channel (mandolin or guitar) and play along with the CD.
Presented in both Tablature and Music Notation
The music is presented in both music notation and mandolin TAB (for people that do not read music). The music notation is clear and crisp. This book will help you to learn the tunes quickly whether you depend on the tablature or the music.
