The hurdy-gurdy, or vielle, has been part of European musical life
since the eleventh century. In eighteenth-century France,
improvements in its sound and appearance led to its use in chamber
ensembles. This new and expanded edition of The Hurdy-Gurdy in
Eighteenth-Century France offers the definitive introduction to the
classic stringed instrument. Robert A. Green discusses the
techniques of playing the hurdy-gurdy and the interpretation of its
music, based on existing methods and on his own experience as a
performer. The list of extant music includes new pieces discovered
within the last decade and provides new historical context for the
instrument and its role in eighteenth-century French culture.
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: A Sailor Went to
Sea, Sea, Sea; Ah, Poor Bird; Careless Love; Down by the Sally
Gardens; Drunten im Unterland; Gaudeamus igitur; Lazy Mary; Molly
Malone; Nearer, My God, to Thee; Nechci, nebudu k vam chodivavat; O
Little Town Of Bethlehem; Oh du lieber Augustin; Santa Lucia; Sloop
John B; St. James Infirmary Blues The are in the book songs without
text. Check out samples from book: http:
