9 pieces in Latin Style-9 Latin style pieces for both study and performance plus notes on the scores & fingering glossary of chord symbols and notes on rasgueados. The A-B-A-C-A Choros form is used as a basic structure for all of the pieces and the styles and moods of the music vary from traditional and classical to Bossa Nova and jazz samba. In Brasil the Choros (diminutive Chorinho) owes its development to musicians performing either solo or in groups who often being obliged to play long hours during functions and festivals would improvise and create variations on popular and traditional themes. The compositions here are all based on this idea of stating a theme andthen creating variations & contrasts. Although the melodic harmonic and rhythmic content of the Choros/Chorinho has evolved greatly over time its underlying beat feel is traditionally 2 per measure and written with a 2/4 time signature. This generally makes comfortable reading for the guitar player because the beamed note groupings define clearly the rhythm patterns to be played. However much music that originally appeared in 2/4 time is now published in 4/4 with a cut time feel and which seems to be favoured by many musicians including guitarists who work in folk and popular idioms. For this edition the time signature which allows a clearer page presentation is chosen for each piece and no musical difference between the 2/4 and the Cut-time signatures is intended. 9 Latin style pieces for both study and performance plus notes on the scores & fingering glossary of chord symbols and notes on rasgueados.

Play-Alongs Bekannter Stücke Aus Irland Schottland Wales Dem Cornwall und Der Bretagne-Martin Tourish is an accordionist composer and musicologist from Co. Donegal now based in Dublin. Celtic music is in his blood for his ancestors were noted collectors of dance music manuscripts dating back to the 19th century. With many recordings to his credit he now offers his expertise to performers wishing to explore the rich culture of Irish and other Celtic music on a variety of instruments. “World Music – Celtic” presents material from the Irish Scottish Welsh Cornish and Breton traditions. It makes no great technical demands on the players but Tourish points out that notation of this music is often “skeletal” hence it is important to gain a knowledge of theindividual traditions in question and naturally he offers plenty of information on performance practice. The collection spans three centuries from the blind bardic harpists of the 18th century to the international performers of the present day. Tourish accepts that this volume can only scratch the surface of a multi-faceted genre but hopes you will see it as a stepping stone to delve deeper into recordings festivals and the very communities whence this music comes. “World Music – Celtic” is available in four formats each with complete recordings and backing tracks on CD: as solo versions for violin flute or saxophone (with piano) and in an ensemble version for two melodic instruments (C Bb or Eb) piano guitar bass and bodhrán.

Russell Robinson always finds a way to take a song and make it accessible for the younger voice and inexperienced ensemble. He continues with this arrangement of Take the 'A' Train. The singer learns the melody in the opening then is ready to take on the faster movement of the same melody throughout. A great jazz classic for choral groups.
