Jolly settings of four Music Hall songs for a two-part choir, guitar ensemble, violin, bass and xylophone ad lib. The guitar parts are easy, (Grade 2-3) but the whole ensemble needs rehearsal to achieve the necessary vigour and humour. Score,instrumental parts for guitars, violin, bass, xylophone, and vocal scores all sold separately to suit different ensemble numbers and instrumentation, there is no standard format for this edition, So please make it clear what various parts you need when ordering. The Guitar 1 part is designed for capo at 5th fret. If you are using a large choir, a guitar group of at least 12 players is recommended. With only 2 or 4 singers, a guitar trio will suffice.

An extended fantasia for sextet or guitar orchestra with gratifyingly full writing for all six parts, needing players of equal ability.

CMP 380	THE BATTLE OF PRAGUE - Frantiscek Kotzwara (8 Guitars)	£7.00

The first guitar is for requinto tuned in A, the other seven guitars in standard tuning.

CMP 391	CONCERTO in D Major - J.M. Böhm (4 or more Guitars)	£6.50
Written by J.M. Böhm (c1720) arr. by Ian Gammie. Two soloists and accompanying ensemble (ideally of 6 to 10 players) are the intended forces, though a minimalist version can be made by quartet. There is an easy ripieno part for inexperienced players, and the Continuo Guitar needs to read fluently with Bass D. There is a set of parts for string trio with double bass for those who have a chamber orchestra at their disposal. The work is more in the form of a large trio sonata in four movements than a conventional concerto. The two solo parts need good players but are not excessively difficult. Four movements: Grave, Allegro, Andante, Minuet. Duration 11 mins.
Level F/D	Score and 2 sets of parts £6.50 - extra parts 30p each
