In order to help the many guitarists that are fond of the baroque music, but neither own a baroque guitar, nor baroque lute, nor a theorbe, it was necessary to write this book. The 'suite française dances (allemande, courante, sarabande, minuet, gavotte, bourree, passacaille, chaconne, gigue ) are initialy presented in a whole, then, for each of them, we are lead to discover first the origin mostly from Renaissance, the typical rhythmic structure with its dynamic, and then, an evaluation of the most probable tempo. Some short examples (first eight bars) or some longer (first parts) allow use tu define a model for each dance, which can be linked, in the end of the book, to a 'puzzle suite . This suite is artificially made of dances composed by different musicians: Robert de Visée, Francesco Corbetta, François Campion, Henri Grénerin, Jacques Gallot, Ludovico Roncalli, Charles Mouton, François Lecoq Obviously, this small book, although particularly written for guitarists can be a help for any a 'grand siècle fervent who play the harpsichord, the flute, the viola da gamba as well as for any other. / Littérature Musicale

With this Suite for guitar â?? whose main reference point is the baroque instrumental suite and its traditional dances â?? the interpreter takes a journey through various compositional styles (e.g. the use of microstructures, modality, atonality, harmony in fourths, whole-tone scales), in the form of a dance. Within the scope of this metacultural project, both performer and listener are presented with a musical juxtaposition where the baroque suite is always present as a historic reference. This project is aimed at an average level of guitar students where instrumental technique is equally as important as composition. In this respect, the Suite is useful in the areas of concert performance, in the teaching of instrumental technique and in compositional analysis.

This sonata (WeissSW No. 23, London) is one of a new series of eight sonatas by Silvius Leopold Weiss arranged for the first time for guitar and published by Metropolis Music. Sonata XVII comes from Weissâ??s middle â??productiveâ?? period, thought to have taken place between 1719 and 1725. The original tablature manuscript is in the British Library (London Ms. Add. 30387). It is the only London Sonata with a title: Divertimento à solo. The Sonata has ten separate movements: Prelude (PrÇ£lude), Entrée, Bourée I and II, Gavotte I and II, Sarabande, Menuet I and II, and Saltarella. The Entrée is nothing more than an Allemande. The Saltarella resembles the Scottish Gigue. The pairs of the middle â??dancesâ?? are intended to be played side by side, as one coherent movement in which the second part complements the musical notion of the first part. There are concordant copies of the first parts of the Bourée, Gavotte and Menuet in the Sächsisches Landesbibliothek in Dresden (Suite XXVI). Bourée I can also be found in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in München, although it is quite different from the London version. Originally, the Sonata is written in B flat major, a key often used by Weiss as it is appropriate for playing the lute, but rather awkward with the guitar. For ease and effectiveness of playing, I have transposed the Sonata a minor third lower to G major. To create more concordance with the baroque tuning of the lute, the G string is lowered by a semitone to F sharp. I suggest using a capodastro to achieve the original pitch. Based on the present standard of A at 440 Hertz, the capo should be placed at the 3rd fret. However, during Weissâ??s lifetime, it was more common in many parts of Germany to use a standard of A at 415 Hertz -â? a semitone lower. So, to hear the pitch heard by Weiss and his contemporaries, the capo should then be positioned at the 2nd fret.

The Suite for guitar aims to blend tradition and modernity through the use of a language with a neobaroque imprint.The canonical utilization of the fixed dances of the Suite (Allemande, Courante, Sarabande and Gigue preceded by an introductory Prelude) serves as a clear reference to the corresponding Baroque model characterized by alternation between slow and fast movements. The style, on the other hand, appears to be moderately dissonant, yet still focused on a well-defined tonal framework. A personal use of both dissonances and modulations is intended to enhance the auditory experience while maintaining a strong connection to a specific tonal center (E), which serves as a stable reference point in the organization of the musical material.La Suite pour guitare vise à mêler tradition et modernité à travers lâutilisation dâun langage à lâempreinte néobaroque.Lâutilisation canonique des « danses fixes » de la Suite (Allemande, Courante, Sarabande et Gigue précédées dâun Prélude introductif) sert de référence claire au modèle baroque correspondant caractérisé par une alternance entre mouvements lents et rapides.Le style, en revanche, semble modérément dissonant, tout en restant centré sur une structure tonale bien définie. Une utilisation personnelle des dissonances et des modulations vise à améliorer lâexpérience auditive tout en maintenant une forte connexion à un centre tonal spécifique (E), qui sert de point de référence stable dans lâorganisation du matériau musical.
