The American Guitar Collection
In
19th Century America, guitarists, composers and publishers were all very busy
producing guitar sheet music of all kinds. From classical
compositions, to jigs, reels, songs, arrangements
and even transcriptions from operas for solo
guitar. We are now making much of this often forgotten
American sheet music for guitar
available again.
Included are two unique collections of what may be the earliest arrangments for guitar of Sousa marches, and Stephen Fosters own arrangments of his classic songs for guitar accompaniment.
" A few years back I thought I was past my “best before” date and I needed the spiritual support my grandfather had always given me. My memories of him and his tales form the basis of these stories. Montreal (and Weir in the summers) was my home for about two decades. The stories ended when my grandfather died on August 3, 1960. I was twelve.
Over the years I was able to record two vinyl LPs and two CDs (all my own work) and one LP with other musicians and writers. I earned a bachelor’s degree in education (secondary) and taught for twenty-two years, became an emergency medical responder for six years, a volunteer firefighter for fifteen, and a town councilor for two year"
The music career of TB Murdoch, known to the music world as "Bruce Murdoch" included recording for Elektra Records and performing at many forums and coffee houses during the heyday of the folk revival and the singer/songwriter movement in Greenwich Village during the 1960s that produced Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Peter Paul & Mary, Eric Andersen, Patrick Sky, Phil Ochs and many more. He also performed at the Newport Folk Festival, in Carnegie Hall and recorded an album produced by Richie Havens for his label and an album produced by Radio Canada.
He has recently recorded 2 new collections of his latest songs.
Beethoven's 10th Symphony Music From The Notebooks Of Beethoven (and a way you can work with
Beethoven's ideas for a 10th symphony)
Throughout his life Beethoven used many notebooks and sketchbooks to write down musical thoughts for pieces he was working on and for ideas that inspired him. Many of these ideas and fragments of music were either never completed or never published.
Beethoven's 9th Symphony that includes the world known "Ode To Joy", is course known across the world. What is not as widely known is that was working on ideas for a 10th Symphony and had made a few notation sketches for it in his music notebooks.
"The song that
I will sing is an old song, so old that
none knows who made it. It has been handed
down through generations and was taught to
me when I was but a little lad. It is now
my own song. It belongs to me. This is a
holy song (medicine-song), and great is
its power. The song tells how, as I sing,
I go through the air to a holy place where
Yusun (The Supreme Being) will give me
power to do wonderful things. I am
surrounded by little clouds, and as I go
through the air I change, becoming spirit
only."

"Nothing flatters
me more than to have it assumed that I could write prose-unless it
be to have it assumed that I once pitched a baseball with distinction." - Poet Robert Frost
