Scores for Solo Guitar

[Rocky Mjos]

I have added my edition of the 7 guitar pieces in the Hedevig Mörner Ms. to my member page. (Sweden: Skara: Stifts- och Landsbiblioteket, Katedralskolans musiksamling 468)

The Mörner has been updated, correcting a bass note error in the Folies.

Falconieri was known to have been a guitarist. I have arranged one of his lute pieces and uploaded it to my member page.

A few Kapsberger arrangements also uploaded. Not nearly as interesting (or successful) as Timo's!

Thanks for the fantastic music. A question about the Morner. Any idea about the performance practice style? Specifically, would their separe (sp?) be played straight (quarter note = bass note then treble played as equal eighths) or more dotted in the French style?

Thanks!

I would consider Perrine's performance suggestions. The guitar portion of the Morner manuscript has ornaments "written out" in places where other manuscripts might have used appoggiatura symbols. I use the writing as a starting point for determining how to play the separe markings. For example, in the Schaccon, the smallest note value is an eighth with no dotted character in the writing. Here I tend to play the separe rather equally. In the Menuets, there are some sharper rhythms and dotted eighth-sixteenth figures. Here I tend to incorporate more dotted separe playing. In actual performance I try to be somewhat elastic (all eighth notes are created equally) and add variety to my musical choices.

A second collection of Kapsberger solos has been added to my member page. The pieces are Toccata seconda arpeggiata (in three alternate arrangements), Colascione, and Piva.

The Kapsberger Solos 2 has been updated with revisions to the Toccata seconda arpeggiata.

I have uploaded an edition of the cittern from the Edvard Storm notebook to my Ning page:
The PDF file contains edited tab with a transcription, plus 2 transpositions for guitar. Some of the pieces would work for baroque guitar (with a low fifth) if the low notes are played an octave higher.
Some of the titles are not clear to me, so I would be happy to hear if anyone has suggestions as to the spellings. I have included on page in the PDF with text examples and the problematic titles.
