“This is a little compilation of ten Dutch folk songs that
are laid end to end, and joined almost seamlessly into an impressive montage of
over two hundred bars of fairly easy and pleasantly enjoyable
quartet.
Although the piece is laid out conventionally, so that part one is
the tune and part four is the bass, there is plenty ofvariety for all and the
careful writing means that many of what a beginner would regard as
“scary-looking black bits” are under the fingers and based on shapes that every
guitarist will be familiar with.
There is a natural variety that the
constantly evolving time and key signatures necessarily bring, but this variety
is further expanded to include textural contrasts, such as natural harmonics,
some big arpeggiated chords, glissandi, some pizzicato, snare drum effect, some
muted strums and tambors. Most of the effects have thoughtfully been allowed
more than adequate preparation time beforehand.
The music would suit an
ensemble that is perhaps around the Grade Four or Five standard, and the
technical demands throughout the composition are admirably uniform. Despite the
varied styles and textures, the music interlocks well and competent players that
don't yet have an “ensemble ear” will find that their initial efforts are
rewarded with a piece that comes good quickly and stays tight in
performance.
I have to profess to being pretty much ignorant of Dutch folk
songs, and so it was a pleasure to be introduced to a sizeable sample that have
been thoughtfully selected and elegantly spliced together. As part of the
publisher's easy four-part music from around the world, this is a chance to
enjoy something that is stylistically a little unfamiliar and therefore all the
more fun.”
