Christmas Guitar Book

Duets For Two Acoustic Guitars-The Christmas season has always been special to me. It is a season that has crystallized the hopes aspirations and faith of millions of people through the centuries. The amount of music written for Christmas is monumental.This book contains 14 scores from my Christmas Guitar Portraits recording. I selected various genres dear to me.First there are selections from the early American sacred song tradition. The Babe of Bethlehem Cherry Tree Carol A Star in the East The Shepherd's Star A Virgin Unspotted and I Wonder As I Wander all are from this rich heritage.I also picked a number of carols from theOld English genre. Away In The Manger Green Grow'th the Holly and What Child is This are included.Then there are the Christmas favourites. In the Bleak Mid-winter and a medley ofBaloo Lammy; The First Noel and Silent Night make any Christmas complete. Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence is one of my favourite Advent hymns. Gaudete Christus est natus is arousing carol dating back many centuries.Finally I included two originals. Lullay My Liking is an ancient carol text. Many composers over the centuries have written melodies to these lyrics most notably GustavHolst. I could not resist the temptation so the melody here is original. Finally Christmas Prayer is a new composition. I have always wanted to compose and arrange music designed to bring the Plectrum or Flatpick Guitarto the concert stage. These arrangements were written with that in mind.

This book contains a selection of twenty Christmas carols in easy arrangements for guitar with an optional second part. The accompanying CD contains all the carols arranged for two guitars with attractive accompaniments. The accompaniments are also given as play-along tracks.

This book contains all 60 of William Bay?s guitar solos found in his three Christmas solo collections: Guitar Picking Tunes ? Beautiful Carols of Christmas, Guitar Picking Tunes ? Christmas in the British Isles, and Guitar Picking Tunes ? An Early American Christmas. In this volume, all solos are presented in notation only. Includes access to an online recording of the author performing each piece.
