CMP 160	VARIATIONS on The Last Rose of Summer by Thomas Chipp (1817)	£6.50 (now available)
for Piano and Guitar. Thomas Chipp (1793 - 1870) was a celebrated harpist in London and wrote these Variations originally for the harp. This edition is a transcription by Ian Gammie, stylistically following the vogue for piano and guitar duets in the early 19th century - a combination that worked extremely well until the later development of the piano dwarfed the sound of the guitar. If a modern piano is used, the player should be alert to the need to achieve this balance between the instruments. The movements are: 1) - Introduction & Air (Theme) 2) - Andante Espressivo 3) - Simplice 4) - Bolero 5) - Adagio Espressivo 6) - Andante 7) - Con Moto 8) - Con animato (Finale) The guitar has extended solo passages in the Bolero and the Adagio Espressivo, and shares thematic material in other movements in addition to the accompagnato passages. Suitable for players of Grade 6 - 7 standard. The whole work lasts approximately 11 minutes.

Sehnsucht, An die Freundschaft, Schäefers Klagelied, Das Mädchen uas der Fremde, Trost. The music is by Gottlieb Streitwolf, a musician from Göttingen c.1800, who wrote delightful songs with most imaginative accompaniments - the guitar part is given florid variations in the arpeggiated accompaniments and the flute weaves a spellbinding duet with the voice. As with CMP 162 and 166, these songs were undoubtedly a formative influence on Schubert when he was a boy.

CMP 166	SEVEN GOETHE SONGS for medium high voice and guitar	£6.00
Goethe, as the greatest poet of his day, attracted many German composers with his lyrical poems, and an unusually large number were cast as guitar songs - the arch Romantic format. These seven songs, with their original guitar accompaniments from the early 19th century, cover a wide dramatic range from the simple folk-like setting of Ich ging im Walde to the drama of unrequited love and young Werther's suicide. Text in German, with an English translation given in the Introduction. Ich ging im Walde, Schäfers Klage, Der Musensohn, Ich denke dein, Der Rattenfänger aus Hameln, La Mort de Werther, Nähe des Geliebten. Separate parts for singer and guitarist. Three of the songs are given in transposed versions as well as the original key so that the whole book can be sung by medium voice.
Several of the songs are recorded on the CD CM-002 Goethe and the Guitar

CMP 391	CONCERTO in D Major - J.M. Böhm (4 or more Guitars)	£6.50
Written by J.M. Böhm arranged 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. Durarion 11 mins.
F/D	Score and 2 sets of parts £6.50 - extra parts 30p each
