Explore the Renaissance with 46 Dances, Songs, and Instrumentals
This book offers an exploration of Renaissance music specifically for the classical guitarist. The music that follows all comes from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century sources that have been translated into modern notation that will be familiar to the modern classical guitarist. Our goal is to provide a rich and fun collection of music that broadly represents music for the Renaissance lute and vihuela.
The pieces are arranged to create a learning pathway, one that introduces you to music of the renaissance in a progressive manner. Pieces range from beginner to advanced and include notation with fingering. There is no TAB included in this edition.
Before every piece you will find a one-page description that sets the stage for the music and walks you through some key things to look out for when learning the piece. Each section of music (Dances, Songs, Instrumentals) is progressive and so the pieces get more difficult as you go through the music.
While this book gives you everything you need to play this wonderful music, you can go much more in depth with each piece at CGC Academy. At the Academy we have provided lessons on the music, with performance videos, full video lessons, PDFs of the scores, along with question-and-answer sections for each lesson.
Not just a collection of pieces
This book serves as a course that guides you through different elements of the renaissance period. With a progressive introduction to elements such as ornamentation, F# tuning, counterpoint, divisions, interpretation you will be guided through renaissance repertoire and performance practice.
Performance notes and historical context
Each piece is accompanied by an information page that shines a light on the renaissance world providing historical context and also important practice and performance notes.
