Re: Baroque Mini Challenge I'll happily post a couple pieces of early music. Fantasia 61 by Francesco da Milano (1497-1543). I love everything by "Il Divino". His fantasias just seem to me to be the purest examples of music…

Re: Week 1: Setting Sails! @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I’m not sure it qualifies as folk music. I did it more as an example of music from a country outside of the usual suspects for classical guitar music.…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Bruno Calixto Good, Bruno! When you get going, the rhythm is strong. That seems to me to be the most important aspect of a piece like this.

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Bruno Calixto Go for it. I got these arrangements from a book I have, but there are many available online. Here is one source: https://classicalguitarshed.com/sm-celtic/.

Re: Week 1: Setting Sails! @Marilyn Blodget That is coming along well, and such a difficult piece! Your hands and fingers seem to have the movements down, so now it’s just a matter of making it more fluid.…

Re: Week 1: Setting Sails! @Stella Kosim This is wonderful, Stella! I particularly like the strong rhythm (the tapping at the end was perfect). It's a great arrangement too. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Week 1: Setting Sails! @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. There are a few sections where I still feel uneasy, but hopefully that will come with time.

Re: Week 1: Setting Sails! @Steve Price Thanks, Steve. I have heard the Parkening, but I haven't seen the score. I assume it is wickedly difficult, like everything he plays. Hand's arrangement is really not too difficult.…

Re: Week 1: Setting Sails! Simple Gifts (arr. Frederic Hand) It does not get any more traditional American folk music than this. Simple Gifts is a song coming from the Shakers, an early American religious sect.…

Re: Week 1: Setting Sails! @Moyses Lopes Trust me, you are are better off never hearing it. It was me trying to be "avante garde" and my poor family and friends had to endure listening to it.

Re: Week 1: Setting Sails! @Michael Shirk It's beautiful, Michael. I like the relaxed feel you have. Your melody line is very expressive. There were a few places where the melody seemed to cut short a bit early,…

Re: Week 1: Setting Sails! @Steve Pederson This is really beautiful music, Steve. It's a fairly dense and lush texture, and I imagine it's hard to get it legato, but you are getting there.…

Re: Week 1: Setting Sails! @Moyses Lopes This is wonderful, Moyses! I would not have guessed it is by Carlevaro. It sounds like jazz. You first played this in 1986? I’m amazed you could play like that at age three!
