Early Guitars and Vihuela

A network for historic guitars and vihuelas

 

Does anybody have a digital version of Weber's Op 13 and Op 29 songs with guitar (and parallel piano part) they could kindly make available?  The op 25 songs with guitar are already available.

Have you got any titles?

 A couple of titles of pices from Op 13 which I already have, in Chanterelle's (excellent) edition 505, are:

Die Zeit ' Es sizt die Zeit....'

Wiegenlied ' Schlaf' Herzen Sohnchen,...'

 

Other Weber song settings with guitar include Op 42 (4 male voices), Op 54 and 64 (Volksleider settings).

And there's also the wonderful accompanied recit with original guitar accompaniment (and band) from his last opera Oberon: Rezia's vision 'Oh, why art thou sleeping'.  

Incidentally I've already searched ISMLP and the like.

I actually meant titles of the ones you are looking for... :-) I have some obscure Weber songs at home.

Thank you. I actually would like to peruse as much of Weber's song output with guitar accompaniment as I can before making a selection for an upcoming June show.

In short, anything other than the ones I mention as already having would be wonderful. In particular opuses 13, 54, 64 and 71

regards

PS There's also his original guitar part for Reiza's vision (a sort of recit) in Act 1 of Oberon (1826) which I also already have - sadly it's often played on the harp in the opera house these days..... but is magical if played on the guitar with the surrounding wind instruments M.

To start with, Boije 955 ('Phoebus') has two songs, 'Leise, leise' and 'Mein Schatzerl ist Hübsch'. Also in the Kopenhagen Royal Library there are collections called Hebe-Pfennigmagasin that contain Weber songs, like 'Der May, der may' and others. I don't think the accompaniments are by Weber, but they appear to be contemporary (to him). I know there is much more, I'll get back to you.

Copenhagen :-)

Thank you Jelma,

I really want to see the works (ie those opus numbers) mentioned earlier since, although it's likely that Weber himself didn't write the guitar accompaniments, it's quite possible that he was aware of them and perhaps even endorsed them. 

I could, of course, write my own pastiche guitar parts in the early style but I'd prefer something with some sort of links to Weber.
