Music for Flute & Guitar Book/CDOther Books
From the beautiful “Arirang” came the idea to gather the music for this wonderful collection. We knew that if there were one “Arirang,” there were more, and we set out to find as many as would fit in the book. Every piece in this collection is a jewel, music we want to play and that listeners respond to. “What is that? I love that. It’s beautiful.” We hear these enthusiastic responses from our audiences, and more importantly, we enjoy playing this terrific music from all around the world.
One of the benefits of the book is that it can be a starting place for your own search for world music. After playing the exciting Greek piece, the exotic Moroccan tune, or the sweet melody from Catalonia, you may find yourself carried off on a quest to find more of the sounds you like.
There is an hour of music in the book, gathered from many countries and beautifully arranged. If you have never played the Ojibway “Walking Song” or the ancient “Cantigas” collected by the Castilian King Alphonse the Wise or the Venezuelan “Watch-Night Song,” then there are plenty of reasons to get the book. There may also be tunes you already know and would like to have good arrangements for – perhaps “Scarborough Faire” or “Come Give Me Your Hand.”
Music is a unique language speaking across both continents and centuries. Maybe this accounts for the delightful variation in its phrases and its power to “roll the lake in waves.”
Canción & Bolero
The book comes with a high quality digital compact disc of Jessica Walsh and Allan Alexander playing all of the pieces in the book. This is not just a learning CD, it's music that intended for listening.
