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.
The CD, performed by Ms Galenshenkova, gives the musician the advantage of being able to hear how these songs can be played and will make the learning process easier. You will be stunned by her tremolo. 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.
This book provides the mandolin player with a unique opportunity to play a wide variety of both early Renaissance and Celtic music including many lute pieces. From Song of the Chanter to the lovely I Serve a Worthy Ladie, you will have a great time with these selections. It can be a great gig book, either for early music events or for any performance. These are very attractive pieces. You will find them catchy and they will attract the attention of listeners. They are also quite playable, and lay well on the fingerboard. If you work with a guitarist, there are chords for him or her to use as a basis to build an accompaniment. The Mandolin parts are presented in both notation and tablature.
The accompanying CD is a recording of all of the tunes in the same order in which they appear in the book. Angelina is playing the mandolin and Allan Alexander is playing the guitar, providing a harmonic tapestry over which the melodies float. Every piece in the book can also be played by mandolin alone. Allan chose to record the pieces with guitar in order to present the music with a chordal background and to create an enjoyable CD.
