Guitar Music of the 16th Century

When modern guitarists play music from the Renaissance, they usually play transcriptions from the vihuela or lute repertoire. As a consequence, many guitarists are unaware of the early music written for the 4-string guitar. Guitar Music of the 16th Century presents an amazing collection of 133 solos actually scored for this instrument by Alonso Mudarra, Miguel de Fuenllana, Adrian Le Roy, Grégoire Brayssing, Guillaume Morlaye, and Simon Gorlier. Written in standard notation only, with access to online audio for each selection—this book and recording would be a valuable addition to any guitarist’s library!

As the baritone uke is tuned the same as the top four strings of the guitar, this collection could also be appreciated by baritone uke players who read standard notation.
