INTRODUCTION AND PLAYING NOTES by Juan Martin These twelve pieces ofdusic fton my.ecod album "Serenade" alproximately ascendjns order of difflculry for the suitadst.

On lhe iecord I was backed by the manelous anangements by Louis Clark for the slrincs and woodwind of the Royal Philhamonic Orchestra, and some of the pieces included cuitar over{ubbing. But these almgenents are atl complete solos in ihemselves, wilh the exception of Chi Mai, whi.h h presenred here as a duet for t{o guit3rs. They are all idenlical or closely simild to the music I played for the remrd or to solo veulotr I have played in lve concerrs md iecit8ls. They a.e not simplified versions and i. some ofthem, such as in my composition Desi@d" ed "Da!id's Song", I have added larisiions nol included on the re@rd to add extra interest ior solo ledomance. Ifl order to make lhe wilten music accessible to players ofa sid€ ranse ofabilities I have included a srea! deal oihel! wilh lingerine. The music is Milten in both slallnotaion and tablalure ('cifta") lo help lhose mary people who find ii hard to read noiation for the suila. Even for those who can read music quite well the ciha is helpiul, panicularly for u.Jbmilid chords and notes in the hieher positions ofl the guitai fingerboard. Indicalions for left-hed finge.ings aie those I prefer myselli sometimes they cldly show the Ilamenco suitarist\ liki.s for placins lhe left hand in chord shapes ev€D when not a1l the strings ol lhe chord are srruck. Symlathetic overtof,es liom s|ings wnich are stolped but nol sounded enrich 1!e sonority of lhe gultar. Some ol the rieht hand techniques you may nor h^e mer betore; rl'eJ dre erpl"ined rn lhe gloldry. For the recordlngs I rsed my 1972 Sobdflos de Dominso Esleso guitar, vhich is a particular lavourite ol mine b€@use ol its excellent lonal balame and wmth. Most people will lavour a'tlassical" nyton stru.g instnmenl.In some pleces I used a'tejilla" (or flamenco apo). as indicaled ai the slart of each piece, 1o achieve a chamcteristic !i1ch and tone from the guitar, but all pieces may be played in the open posiiion as vritten. For some ol the tieces chord nanes are included along wlth lhe music so that you can play with other instruments or try youl o$n altempts at multi-tracking. I hope you will enjoy, as I have done, ptayos these pieces in such a way as to try to bring out the nagical ftnse ofsounds and expr€sion available frcm the Spanish suitar

IjYe Ihme lioto "TqORN BIRDS" This urangemed ot Henry Mancini\ theme lor the TV serialisalion of"The Thorn Btds" reached lhe U.K "Top Ten' as a sinele. I orlginaly dmeed it for the guiiar after hedins a vocal demo vesloir from ihe USA. beforc the serial arived on British screens wlth Heffr Mancini\ own orchestration. For the record I llayed it with a cejitla at the frIlh frei, .ahing l1e key from E mimr (in rhich the music and cifm are winen) to A minor. The tune is simple, yei deceDtively so, and its almost reticenl bl1ter-sweetness pedectly underlined the penrup emolions ofthe series.Illayed i! very stniehl, without vibmtq just giving a slight plainnve "tend" !o the D md A nole! (by pushing inMrds oD the strings across the lretb@d to mise lhe !i!ch a fraction) where sho$r on the second page

MISSING musician who comlosed 'Msine". is lery weU known ior the film "Chariots ofFire". I played the music tttroush with him betore with helptul advice. The solo version here is a special

afiugemenl for this atbm. On lhe record I llayed i! maidy as a s]lele note solo in the higher positions, so accompanying bas noles and chords have been added to nake an attmctive solo that is complete in itsell There are no great lechnical problems in the fingerlng but it is lmporlant to nnger the opedng chords corecdy wilh the left hed in order to allow the tune to flos alone withoutjerkiness as lhe left hand finsets stop the strings. The short sectio, in E flat and B flat becomes easy vhen you vork ou1 the hmiliar chord sbapes lor the left hmd. ROMANCE

Ihis anonymou$y-composed littie masterpiece is quintessenlial music tor the Spanish guitar. Many a student ofthe flamenco aod classical suitar has $aned his voyaee of lamins the ins!rumeDt wilh iL Popularised by Narciso Yepes in the soundhack ofthe film "Jeux InterditJ' (Forbidden Game9, it has been played in many versions, as an exceUent exercise for aDeegio technique a.d l,o introduce the use ofthe higher positions, or as a solo that still appeals to audiences as a haunting lune almys arsociated with the guilar- $hen I first recorded ii with orchestE and percu$ion as a sinele, I changed the 333 Daltern of ihe

rhlthm ro a slow lmba h 332 (i.e.

DAT'ID'S SONG

Davidt Sons w6 sivetr to me in the vesiotr that ac.ompmied the Tv series ol Robert Louis Stevetront "Kidmpped", for vhich i! E6 performed by Lish folk musicim. I found it transoibed very well as a solo for Slanish guitar. For lhe solo here I have sliehuy altered the arpecgio seciions ftom the recorded version io add interest and greater valiety ol guile techniques. PX.ELIIDE:

This Cholin prelude, orisinally composed for lhe pieo and ihen adapied for the baltet trs Sylphides, makes a charming guilar sola The dnEactic poin! which jovolves a spread chord wirh a finger stretch from 9lh to the 14th liei looks daunrins at fiBt. but you will find it comes morc easily under the Ieft hand thar you ltrhk Because the lune is so wel lnowlr, it lresents a good challenge for the guittuist 10 brins out the right delicacy and "lill'' h the rhrthm. TTIE I"{ST FAND\!DT,I,

I composed this N a lighlh@fi€d lasliche on the Latin-American tango, to be ptayed as are on the dance-floor in Buems Ates with a rose between your teeth and a long night of@ssion ahead ofyou.. The euiiar plays rhe tune d plovides the dance-band accompanimen! emlhasisins the steady ihrob ol the emlhatic 4/4 rhrahm by meanl of chords played msgueado and with dampiq techniques lor risht a.d lell hand (see elossaiy). Repeat it until your audience h faint with exhaustion.

DESIRED The harmonic basis ofthis piece is the chord sequence E minor C, B mino., A. lt came !o me as I sas exploring alternalive sequenes to the usual Ptfygian progression of flamenco music (e.g. D minor C, B llat, A) and I became sreatly intdgued with it. The

piece b in lhe form ofa rumba, wilh ils characteristic 332 acceffuarion. Fo. the solo version I have included some ofthe chdacteristic strummilg dd stappine techriques the flamenco rumba, phich I Int Morded in lhe venion for my album "Picasso PortBits". These de explaiftd in the Closary.

ROMEO AND JT]LIET Composed by the Italid composer Nino Rota, this lovely melody accompanied ZeffreUi\ of the Shatespede play. The solo vesion js slidtly mended for the euitd to ,ll oul the hamonisation, but is very similar !o the re@rded solo. The arreggio sectioN bemne st aightfonr?rd when you identiry the conect sequence oflefi hand cho.d shape!, which are most quicLy idenilfiable ftom lhe cil'ra. As with much ofthe romanlic music io this atbuE, the lowing leealo line ofthe tune is aI imlortant, wlth great opporlunities to develop your skills oftouch and tone-!rcduction to make the iDstrument sing.
