Par DOWNLAND JOHN. For years, classical guitarists have enjoyed playing the lute music of the English composer, John Dowland (1563-1626). Forty of his beautiful compositions are included in this volume. The book is intended for the guitarist with intermediate to advanced fingerstyle technique, and can be played on both nylon and steel string instruments. In order to help capture the unique character of Dowland\'s music, renaissance lute tuning (capo on the third fret with the G string tuned to F sharp) is used throughout. The pieces progress more or less in order of increasing difficulty, and special care has been taken to be sure any group of consecutive pieces can be played with satisfyingresults. Standard notation only. Includes access to online audio. For years, classical guitarists have enjoyed playing the lute music of the English composer, John Dowland (1563-1626).

The Library Of Baroque Music is an enormously expansive collection of the greatest works produced during that prolific period that flourished between the Renaissance and Classical eras. All arranged for solo Piano, this volume features works drawn from all the major Baroque composers, including some of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. The progression and development of music during the Baroque period can be heard in these pieces, providing you not only with a window into musical history, but also many exciting additions to your repertoire. The retrospective 'Baroque' label was applied to a diverse range of European compositions-often combining a spirit of experimentation with elaborate new musical structures. Dominated primarily by the Harpsichord and Organ, this period also saw the rise and development of larger-scale forms such as the concerto and oratorio. This superb volume is comprised of Keyboard and ensemble works from all the major Baroque composers, arranged for Piano. Featuring Arne, Boyce, Buxtehude, Corelli, Couperin, Gibbons, Lully, Pachelbel, Purcell, Rameau and Vivaldi, the composers here include some of the most respected and revered figures in musical history. The Library Of Baroque Music spans compositions of many of these masters, ranging from Frescobaldi in the early 1600s to Pergolesi a century later, and the famous three - J.S. Bach, Handel and Domenico Scarlatti.Baroque music, so called for its ornateness, was characterised by a bold exploration of counterpoint and new harmonic possibilities. This was variously expressed through the work of perhaps fifty or so major European composers. By the time Baroque began to segue into a new Classical period around 1750 it had already irrevocably changed and expanded the possibilities of music. The works that precipitated this change are available to play in this single volume, perfect for pianists looking to expand their repertoire with both challenging and exciting music.In this thoroughly enjoyable Library Of Baroque Music, the triumphant progression of this period is illustrated in the best possible way - through the compositions themselves, forming the definitive Baroque collection for solo pianists. / Piano

Cette Méthode de Luth Baroque peut vous donner les bases techniques et musicales nécessaires à l?obtention d?une structure assez solide et complète du jeu du luth baroque. Et c?est là tout l?enjeu et le défi de l?écriture de cet ouvrage : donner, au plus grand nombre de passionnés, l?opportunité de s?exprimer à travers le luth baroque, et ce, indépendamment de leur niveau d?apprentissage. Notre livre est destiné non seulement à celui qui n?a jamais joué d?un instrument de musique, mais aussi au guitariste avisé qui veut s?initier aux mystères du luth baroque !

Mode d?emploi

Notre Méthode de Luth Baroque est divisée en trois parties.

La première partie, plutôt théorique, aidera à mieux comprendre la façon de jouer la musique écrite pour le luth baroque. Nous avons jugé indispensable d?avoir des connaissances élémentaires de solfège occidental mais aussi de la tablature (forme de notation musicale spécifique au luth). Ces connaissances, insuffisantes si étudiées de manière isolée, ont été enrichies d?un lexique des pièces instrumentales ainsi que de biographies de la plupart des compositeurs de musique pour luth baroque à 11 et 13 ch?urs.

En deuxième partie, nous avons dédié tout un chapitre à l?étude de la technique et de la production sonore du luth. Riche en photos et détails de toutes les étapes techniques que nous devrons franchir, ce chapitre est, sans aucun doute, le plus important de toute notre Méthode pour bien comprendre l?univers sonore du luth baroque ! Ensuite, nous vous proposons 21 exercices, tous d?un niveau élémentaire, mais progressifs, accompagnés de plusieurs pièces de musique. Vous allez d?abord jouer des mélodies pour ensuite ajouter les basses, et seulement après commencer à jouer les ornements.

En troisième partie, nous avons choisi près de 250 pièces pour luth baroque à 11 et 13 ch?urs. Ces pièces, divisées en trois niveaux, sont d?un degré de difficulté qui s?échelonne du niveau « débutant », « moyen » à « avancé ». Nous avons, tout comme à l?époque baroque, séparé ces pièces selon leurs tonalités et leur nom. Aussi, nous n?avons choisi que très peu de tonalités différentes, afin que le luthiste débutant puisse travailler l?essentiel de son instrument, au lieu de perdre son temps à essayer de s?accorder tout le temps et de jouer des morceaux bien trop complexes pour son niveau. Il n?y a pas de mauvaise musique mais, parfois, il y a de mauvais musiciens ! Faire de la musique n?est simplement pas jouer des notes et réaliser quelques acrobaties, souvent sans intérêt. Un musicien « mûr » se plaît le plus souvent à jouer une simple mélodie et à jouir des merveilles sonores de son instrument !

Nous espérons que cette méthode pourra aider ceux qui n?ont pas accès à un professeur (même si nous leur conseillons d?aller en voir un le plus régulièrement possible), mais aussi tous les professeurs n?ayant pas suffisamment de matériel pour faire travailler, d?une manière systématique, leurs élèves.
Bon courage à tous !
