This is the first book to publish an extensive collection of pre-Renaissance music transcribed for guitar! Gregorian Chant melodies -- enormously popular in recent years -- form the basis for this volume. Inside, Garno argues that this music of the first 1500 years of Western history should no longer be ignored by guitarists. In support, he presents copious notes along with a myriad of single and multi-movement works, and concludes that such music is appropriately played on the guitar. A pioneering work that should be in every serious guitarist's library. Notation and tablature. Intermediate to advanced level. Includes access to online audio.

A magnificent collection of the greatest ancient music for the Christmas season arranged for solo acoustic guitar in standard notation and tablature. These tasteful settings are presented in three sections according to their level of difficulty- easy, intermediate, or advanced. In addition to plain chants- carols, hymns, and motets in a variety of forms are included. This book contains 30 solo guitar arrangements with extensive program notes and lyrics, translated in English from the original language. Includes access to online audio from Gerard Garno's recordings entitled A Guitar for the Holidays and O Magnum Mysterium.Ê

(Guitar Solo). 25 songs of worship for solo guitar in standard notation and tablature, including: Amazing Grace * Be Thou My Vision * Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing * For the Beauty of the Earth * Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee * My Faith Looks up to Thee * Rock of Ages * What a Friend We Have in Jesus * and more.

Hymns, including Greek and Latin, the psalter or book of psalms, ancient chant, early canticles, spirituals, and contemporary gospel, have created a hymnody, which over many centuries has become the most profound vehicle for praise and worship in the Christian Church. It has once been said that the Church, "Has come singing down through the ages." Through this beautiful medium of song, worshippers over many generations have privately and collectively aspired to give praise and proclaim their faith while expressing the higher emotions of the soul. These twenty arrangements were carefully written with much consideration given to the original four-part choral arrangements found in several of the well known hymn books. Some of these arrangements were based on personal tastes and compositional ideas. As the arrangements in Book 1 would challenge many of the seasoned players, a second book of the same hymns is arranged at a more moderate level for students. Book 3 follows in line with twenty duets for voice and guitar.

40 Old Time Hymns - Guitalele Songbook for Beginners with Tabs and Chords 40 Old Time Hymns is a new book of songs from the past, and in my opinion, golden times. These 40 beautiful pearls are intended for people who, despite all the daily problems and joys, are still aware that God and the teachings of Jesus Christ are always present among us. And if we most often turn to him in the face of various difficulties, it is right to remember him even in a moment of joy and free time, in our minds and with songs. Songs from the Old Time Songbooks series, as always, I adapted for individual instruments, mandolin, guitar, cigar box guitar, ukulele, tenor banjo, etc. This way, any musician can play them on their favorite instrument. However, several musicians with different instruments can also play songs together. The songs are written with chords for the chosen instrument, and the melodies are presented with notes and tablature. You will also find audio recordings of all the songs at www.lovelymelodies.com. If I have simplified the melodies and accompaniment with chords in previous books, this time, I have kept the original harmony to a certain extent in the songs. So there are a few more chords, but the result is a collection of quite melodic songs that remind us of the harmony of days gone by and the harmony of the Creator. May harmony permeate us all, Peter Upclaire. Book benefits: Collection of 40 most popular old time Christian hymns. Suitable for parents and children.

Intended for anyone who would like to increase the repertoire of songs. Suitable for playing solo melodies, accompaniment of singing with chords, and playing in a duet. Suitable for use with other books for guitar, guitalele, ukulele, tenor banjo, cigar box guitar in GDG, and mandolin from the same book collection.
