William Bay: Acoustic Guitar Portraits: Guitar: Recorded Performance

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.

Advanced level. The 11 solos contained in this book were written by William Bay to explore some of the diverse moods and colors which can be expressed on the guitar.

The tango is the king of the Latin dances. The captivating rhythms and seductive melodies of the tango have captured the imaginations of musicians and composers for many years. The tango has even found its place in the world ofconcert musical literature due to the fine works of composers such as Astor Piazzolla. It is hard to imagine a guitarist today without a number of tangos in his solo repertoire. These 14 tangos were composed to provide tangoliterature for the plectrum or flatpick guitarist. Of course they may also be performed on the Classic Guitar.I would like to make special note of the tango Lucia. I originally wrote Lucia as a Guitarduet. The duet is recorded on my Acoustic Guitar Portraits recording and is also in print in the companion book. I composed a new solo setting for Lucia in this book.I believe these tangos may be performed inconcert or recital for fun or even on a gig. I hope you enjoy performing them as much as I did composing them! All music in notation and tablature.

Companion dual CD for 'Guitar Images' (MB#22193). The solos in this collection present a myriad of moods on the guitar. They were written to be very expressive contemplative pieces which could be performed in a variety ofsecular and sacred settings. Most of the pieces are from three solo collections previously released entitled 'Guitar Meditations' (MB22029) 'Guitar Airs and Ballads' (MB22039) and 'Timeless Solos for Guitar' (MB22041). Some ofthe pieces were scored for 7-string guitar; others 6-string guitar. Many of the solos use a 'cross-picking' technique alternating higher position closed strings and open strings resulting in a 'harp-like' effect. A number of thepieces are in Dropped D tuning highlighting the rich resonance that tuning gives the instrument. Explore the diverse moods presented in this collection! Performed by William Bay.
