| Spanish
Dance No. 2 (Granados) |
Transcription, for guitar duet, of this wonderful
piece originally for piano. FREE and complete version. |
| Variations
on a Shaker Theme(fl/gtr) |
A small set (about 6
minutes) of variations on the American Shaker tune "Simple
Gifts."
For flute and guitar. The
theme is at the end. The variations are in a very expanded tonality,
but very lyrical. For intermediate to advanced players. This is a true
duet, not for flute and "accompaniment." Here is a midi file of full
piece -- note that it does not accurately render many of the more
interesting timbral features of the piece (pizzicato, harmonics) but
gives somewhat of an overall feel. $5.00 US (.mid)
|
| Zarabanda Vivo (guitar duet) |
A fast, sensuous, perpetual motion piece in a very expressionistic style; for two guitars. Intermediate to advanced players. Here is a midi file of the full
piece -- again, note that it does not accurately render many of the more
interesting timbral features of the piece (pizzicato, harmonics) but
gives somewhat of an overall feel. $5.00 US (.mid)
