DOWNLOAD EBOOKSECOND EDITION - These thirty compositions were transcribed for the Renaissance guitar, guitar and for the baritone ukulele from a facsimile copy of Guillaume Morlaye's first book of tablature for the guitar. Most are also playable on the soprano and tenor ukulele. The re-entrant tuning of the ukulele does not detract at all from what would otherwise be a faithful rendition of these compositions. Most of the pieces sound just fine and, in fact, while testing each piece for playability and checking for mistakes, I had both my tenor and baritone ukuleles close by my side. The music ranges from fairly easy to intermediate skill levels. I encourage you to experiment with the ornamentation and make these pieces your own. Have fun!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThese sixty-one compositions were transcribed for baritone ukulele but most are also playable on the soprano and tenor ukulele. They are also certainly playable on a standard guitar and, in fact, are much easier as only the highest four strings are used - low E and A are ignored. The music encompasses pieces ranging from fairly easy to intermediate to more advanced.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.
