Guitalele belongs to new music instruments. So far very few sheets were written for this instrument. I decided to fill a gap in the market. You will find 15 known songs in the book. Each song is recorded twice, whether you have any more to play with. As the guitalele tuned A2 D3 G3 C4 E4 A4," the guitar with a capo on the fifth fret or Requinto can play from these notes. In the end I added double page with most used chords. Songs: Adeste Fideles; Aura Lee; Brother John; Come And Go With Me; Deck the Hall; Go Tell Aunt Rhody; He Arose; Iroquois Lullaby; Jesus Loves Me; London Bridge; On Top of Old Smokey; Row, Row, Row Your Boat; The First Noel; Vent Frais; Wade in the Water The are in the book songs without text.

String Quartet no. 1 has strong roots in neo-Romanticism, while pushing the limits of polytonality and extended harmonies. This four movement work displays the expressive quality and aggressive side of the string instruments in the ensemble. The composition is in f minor and uses a harmonic progression of i-vii-V-i, which also extends to the tonal areas of the 4 movements. Although some traditional harmonic elements are used, tonality is pushed to its limits through the use of 2 or more harmonies played simultaneously. This is a highly rhythmic string quartet based off the composer's percussion background. Duration: 19 minutes

Jack Batts was a violin maker in Southern Illinois, who, until his death in 1988, made fine quality instruments for members of some major American symphony orchestras. He is believed to have made up to 150 fine violins and 5 violas. He was very generous with his time, and dedicated to his craft. He thus assisted to prepare this work in 1975, but time, and the vagaries of the publishing world did not permit its publication until now. The work tells how this master made the sound of his instruments, not simply "the wooden box" that produces those sounds. It includes copies of his detailed hand made records of about 20 instruments made till the date of research. The author also discusses the context of the man, and of the shop within the history of his region, the southern highlands - coal country - of Southern Illinois.

Knotwork is a collection of 12 violin duets composed by Helen Adam, all based on Welsh traditional music.The tunes include well known song melodies as well as lesser known dance tunes. The original melody is given in full as well as the duets in clear and easy to read format. Knotwork refers to the style in which these arrangements are written, whereby different lines of melody are twisted and knotted together to produce new and satisfying ensemble pieces designed for sociable playing. Three of the pieces contain an optional third part. All can, with a little adaptation, be played on most melody instrument as well as violins. Performance notes and information about the music and its history is included. The pieces become a little harder throughout the book, but most would be fine for an intermediate violinist or fiddler. The pieces were written as a celebration of Welsh music by Helen Adam, who has made Wales her adopted country and is researching and performing its music every day.

Let's face it. The violin is incredibly difficult to play. It is even harder to play fast If you are a speed demon, than you need to know what this book has to tell you...
