With Emperor, French composer Thierry Deleruyelle wanted to create a descriptive musical work depicting the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. The first movement represents the idiosyncrasies of this famous personality as well as his dramatic mood swings. The second movement is dedicated to his great love, Josephine Beauharnais. A contrasting third movement depicts Napoleon the fearless general and the countless battles he waged. A truly powerful work about one of histories truly powerful men.Mit Emperor schuf der französische Komponist Thierry Deleruyelle ein deskriptives Werk nach dem Leben von Napoleon Bonaparte. Der erste Satz hebt die Charakterzüge des Kaisers von Frankreich hervor, wozu Heldenmut und Brillanz ebenso wie Schwermut gehören. Der zweite Satz ist seiner großen Liebe Josephine Beauharnais gewidmet und im Kontrast dazu der dritte Satz dem Feldherrn Napoleon und seinen zahlreichen Schlachten. Ein schillerndes Werk über eine große historische Figur!Avec Emperor (L’Empereur), le compositeur français Thierry Deleruyelle signe une fresque musicale en trois tableaux, consacrée Napoléon Ier (1769-1821) qui fut Empereur des Français de 1804 1815. Le premier tableau, « l’Aigle », illustre deux facettes du caractère de l’Empereur : héro que et éblouissant lorsqu’il mène ses troupes la victoire, sombre et mélancolique dans la tourmente de l’histoire. Le deuxième mouvement est consacré Joséphine de Beauharnais, la grande et unique passion de Bonaparte, sa première épouse, son incomparable impératrice. La courbe mélodique est noble et élégante, l’orchestration riche en couleurs sonores. Le troisième et derniertableau - D’Austerlitz Waterloo - est un récit de batailles, de la grande victoire la chute définitive. Le climat musical est dominé par un esprit de conquête. Les rythmes soutenus de la caisse-claire symbolisent la chevauchée infernale de la cavalerie impériale. Nous suivons l’itinéraire militaire de l’un des hommes les plus célèbres et les plus controversés de l’histoire de France. Con Emperor, Thierry Deleruyelle firma un affresco musicale dedicato a Napoleone. Seguiamo il destino militare e personale di Bonaparte. Il primo affresco, “l’Aigleâ€, illustra due aspetti del carattere dell’Imperatore: eroico quando conduce le sue truppe alla vittoria, malinconico nella tormenta della storia. Il secondo movimento è dedicato a Josephine di Beauharnais, la grande e unica passione di Napoleone. Il movimento finale - Da Austerlitz a Waterloo - è un racconto delle battaglie, delle grandi vittorie e della caduta definitiva.

ISBN 9790080400050. UPC: 073999711769. 5.5x8.0x0.324 inches. Ludwig van Beethoven; Gabor Darvas.
The original manuscript of the work has been lost, but a copy with corrections in the composer's hand, dating presumably from 1804, has come down to us. Beethoven added the following comment on the title page: 'geschrieben auf Bonaparte', which lends authenticity to the familiar story that oroginally the composer had named the symphony after Napoleon Bonaparte, but when he learnt that the revolutionary whom he idolized had let himself crown emperor, he tore off the cover page of the score in disillusion and rage, and changed both its title and dedication in the following way: 'Sinfonia EROICA, composta per festeggiare il sovvenire d'un grand' uomo, e dedicata a Sua Altezza Serenissima il Principe di Lobkowitz.'.

Adam Granger self-published the first edition of Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar in 1979. A second edition was published in 1994. Now Mel Bay Publications presents the third edition of the book.
This 236-page book is the most extensive and best-documented collection of fiddle tunes for the flatpicking guitar player in existence, and includes reels, hoedowns, hornpipes, rags, breakdowns, jigs and slip-jigs, presented in Southern, Northern, Irish, Canadian, Texas and Old-time styles.
There are 508 fiddle tunes referenced under 2500 titles and alternate titles. The titles are fully indexed, making the book doubly valuable as a reference book and a source book.
In this new edition, all tunes are typeset, instead of being handwritten as they were in the previous editions, making the tabs easier to read.
The tunes in Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are presented in Easytab, a streamlined tablature notation system designed by Adam specifically for fiddle tunes.
The book comes with a link which gives access to mp3 recordings by Adam of all 508 tunes, each played once at a moderate tempo, with rhythm on one channel and lead on the other.
Also included in Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are instructions for reading Easytab, descriptions of tune types presented in the book, and primers on traditional flatpicking and rhythm guitar. Additionally, there are sections on timing, ornamentation, technique, and fingering, as well as information on tune sources and a history of the collection.
Mel Bay also offers The Granger Collection, by Bill Nicholson, the same 508 tunes in standard music notation.
