Every professional guitarist will lmow that to be employed as a freelance
musician you need to have ready the right repertoire for the right
occasion.
TIle selection ill this book is primmily for use at ceremonial
occasions: weddillgs, funerals etc. They are an'anged as duets, sometimes ill ml
undeveloped or shortened form, sometimes no sooner started than finished.
Different instruments can be chosen to play the melodies, but the an'anger's
favoured illstrument is the violin.
The music is mostly taken from orchestral
works, or famous pimlo pieces, but there are two songs, which appear with words.
TIlere is a useful pullout booklet of tile melodies, and tlle music is clearly
printed and easy to reacl. He writes the chords above the second part, so you
can strum if you want to. TIle guitar part is left blanl{ witllOUt any
fingerings or positions, and the standard stmis at grade Ill. and becomes
progressively harder up to around grade VII. 11le guitm' is used as an
accompanying instrument playing flowing arpeggios and blocked chords. In
performance amplillcation would help to keep tlle balance between tile
instruments.
The cover has an abstract design in deep reds, purpies and blues
witil the lettering standing out in white against this colourful background.
TIlis is a book you can have fun witll, and there is a strong appeal about
taking some of the world's greatest melodies written for other instruments and
enjoying them on the guitar. It is also a useful book lor formal occasions, as
sometimes the general public is not always appreciative of Oliginal guitar
repertoire, and only wmlts to hem' what is already li:llniliar, played on the
guitar as their illstrument of choice.
This publication is about taking some
of the world's greatest melodies and distilling them into a miniature version
for the guitar and another instrument. In a way this becomes a sort of homage to
some of the world's greatest composers, who could supply a fully orchestrated
piece of music on request. That tllere remains such an appealing piece of music
after the orchestration has been stripped away is a huge uibute to the genius of
these composers.

Ce volume permettra aux guitaristes de proposer à leur clientèle une variété
de pièces en duo (ou en petite formation) connues du grand public. Il sera
facile de lire à première vue l’arrangement pour guitare ou simplement les
accords chiffrés au dessus de la portée. Cette seconde option permettra à
n’importe quel instrument harmonique (le piano ou la harpe par exemple)
d’assurer l’accompagnement. Les formes sont simples, concises et les
arrangements sont axés sur le thème musical principal (les développements sont
parfois exclus des arrangements).
La série d’arrangements pour guitare et
violon (ou autre instrument mélodique) que je propose dans ce volume est
spécialement conçue pour tous ces musiciens professionnels soucieux de répondre
de manière efficace et rapide aux demandes grandissantes des gens pour des
prestations musicales dans un contexte cérémoniel.
