Alexander and Walsh, arrs. - Renaissance Music for Flute and Guitar (w/CD) - Guitar w/Tablature and Flute

There is great music to be found in all times and from all countries. This is what we are always looking for... pieces that surprise us (pleasantly of course), tunes that make us say "I want to hear that again," and music that we can't stop playing.

We have compiled a tremendous collection of Renaissance and Medieval duos for flute and guitar. If you love playing independent, interesting parts and if you like communicating with your musical partner, this is the book for you. This music captures the feeling of the Medieval and Renaissance times. It comes alive when you play it.

During the Renaissance, it was the performers who wrote the music. Often they added variations; they were excited about the melodies. We bring some of this approach to the music in this book. Good music need not be difficult to play. When doing arrangements, we make sure that the pieces lay well on the instruments. A few of the pieces in this book are our own, because we also love to write. Nothing is more satisfying, nothing gives us greater pleasure than creating a tune that we want to come back to over and over again... and this is truly in the spirit of the Renaissance.

There are almost 70 minutes of music on the CD, and 29 pieces in the book. This is a great book to take on gigs, or just to play with a friend. The point is, the music is great. You have to play the tunes in this book to appreciate what we are talking about. The CD will give you insights into the music, and it will be enjoyable to listen to on its own merit.
