Allemande from the Third Cello Suite
by

"Your arrangements are very nice. Above all I appreciate very much Allemande from Cello Suite no. 2: it's great! I play it nearly everyday Thanks a lot. I look forward your next month's piece" -- HervŽ Castre (France)

The Music: 
Though taken primarily from my Prism Music arrangements and compositions for guitar, I will occasionally include unpublished pieces as well. In addition to works for guitar solo, there will be guitar duets, guitar with voice, with synthesizer and other instruments. Multi-movement works will be randomly offered one movement at a time. Playing level will range from intermediate to virtuosic. There will be arrangements of music by Josquin des Préz, John Dowland, J.S. Bach, Chopin, Stravinsky and a variety songwriters, along with my own music -- some of which is intended for theatrical context and some of which is in the scordatura commonly known as DADGAD. You'll find most of the titles listed on my Sheet Music page.

Why I am doing this: 
I can understand why many guitarists would hesitate to purchase sheet music if they are not familiar with the arranger/composer -- or to purchase CDs is they are not familiar with the performer -- so I do this partially out of a desire to have more people know my work. The bottom line for most guitar music publishers is quantity of potential sales rather than musical quality or originality. I only put out music from my performing and recording repertoire, and thereby seek to benefit both amateur and professional guitarists with the breadth of my experience.
