My music teacher and I developed an Irish trad tunebook that we're putting out here for all to use. I know there’s already a few out there, but this one’s ours! It contains tabs and...

On desktop computers there's a pull-down menu in the left bottom corner. Yours is set to vB4 Default Style which is why you're seeing this. Switch it to mandolin.

That famous Italian pastorale of the late baroque era, the one that serves as the basis for the carol "Quanno nascette Ninno" and numerous Christmas concerti and chamber works—did you know that...
Danke Michael!
Yes, Mendolin, good work! you are onto something. Alessios is not a first name, but Elias' last name. His association with Carlo De Filippis created a strong alliance. They collaborated on many...
Hmmmm I'm beginning to think that Alessios De Filippis was purposely chosen by Carlo De Filippis to honor his Greek friend, mandolinist Elias Alessios. It may show that they were not only...
I have found one of the Weeks pieces and copied 3 more while I was at the Lbirary of Congress, last week. First, an easy ensemble piece, Passing Guard March, for 1st and 2nd mandolins, mandola, and...
Wonderful playing, Michael! Thanks so much! I love mazurkas.
Many years ago, I bought this scrapbook on eBay of musical brochures and concert programs, most of which are for mandolin or other plucked instruments. A few months ago I scanned it (to try out my...
I went back and looked!
She does indeed teach reading. (As an accomplished reader, I skipped over most of it.) The reading exercises are simple, naturally, likely designed for a person who is...
After almost 5 years inaction, I've started this project up again, this time on YouTube because it was so much easier to organize tracks into play lists and edit them. Plus there's more traffic on YT...
You are the living example of what a complete musician is: great technique, exquisite taste and a vast knowledge of musical theory...chapeau! :mandosmiley:
I was answering another thread about sources for folk tunes in Asturias which reminded me to share a link I found for orchestral arrangements which have made available the Archivos de Manolo...

Here’s a couple of general observations based on my personal experiences. In my early Mandolin days, I had the good fortune to take lessons from 2 masters of the instrument, Jethro Burns, an American...

This is my arrangement for two mandolins and (accordion or guitar chords). It is true to the original vocal score (1927). Listening to someone like Claudio Villa is the BEST way to introduce yourself...

You perform these arrangements fantastically, and it must be stressed that Evelyn's arrangements in her books are excellent! :mandosmiley:
The song 'U Carrittieri comes from the singing of the Sicilian singer, Saverio Benigno, and was recorded in NYC in 1918. The title means "the cart driver," and there are many examples of folk themes...
I had this recording on cassette tape when I was first getting into mandolin. I was very inspired by Sheynkman's style and performance as well as choice of music.
He reminds me a little of both...
