Arranged For Classical Guitar-This anthology contains nineteen of the most popular Gilbert and Sullivan classics arranged in easily sight-readable versions for beginning to intermediate classical guitarists. All the favorites are here ranging fromsentimental ballads such as Little Buttercup Willow Tit-Willow and There Grew a Little Flower to more up-tempo 'patter' type pieces such as Oh! A Private Buffoon Kind Sir You Cannot Have theHeart and A Policeman's Lot. The aim has been to provide both a useful teaching resource and a light-hearted alternative to the more 'serious' music of the Classical Guitar repertoire. All the pieces lendthemselves extremely well to the common idiomatic textures of the Classical Guitar. A variety of melody and accompaniment styles are employed including block chords arpeggio patterns and passages of double-stopped thirdsand sixths. A number of the pieces are in easy first position format while others explore the common higher positions. The standard Guitar keys are utilized (C G D A E) but there are occasional more challengingtemporary modulations to 'difficult' keys such as E flat major. There are also instances of drop-D tuning which is often required in Classical Guitar playing.
