A satisfying variety of favorite traditional Jewish tunes beautifully arranged for classical (or fingerstyle) guitar. This new edition includes tablature in addition to the standard notation of the original edition. 20 solos and 6 duets. Intermediate and professional level repertoire. This collection has been praised by Steve Marsh of Classical Guitar magazine and by Judith Pinnolis of Brandeis University and Jewish Music Web Center, among others. One does not need to be Jewish to enjoy playing, or hearing, these superb arrangements. Annotations and Performance Notes for each piece provide historical and/or cultural perspective as well as technical guidance. An Appendix (with Glossary) discusses in considerable detail Jewish scales and modes. A Bibliography and Discography are also provided. Preview at EllenWhitakerGuitar.com
