    Sonatina in C major is the first song I heard that I associated with mandolin. This was on the first Beethoven's Wig CD, and was a Father's Day gift in 2007. A couple years later a family member gave me a mandolin that had sat in his attic untouched for some unknown period of time. That turned into mandolin as a hobby. The old mandolin got upgraded to a Fylde Single Malt after I visited Roger Bucknall's workshop one Christmas break when our family lived in the UK. Sonatina has been an "I really need to finish learning" item through that whole journey. This past summer I finally put the time into learning the last half. Here is a mandolin / mandola duet recording of the Ken Yearick version posted in the TablEdit library. Fylde Single Malt mandolin and Eastman MD315 mandola.

    Fine duet, Shawn. That Single Malt Fylde looks (and sounds) great with the stained top from the old whisky casks.

    Nice tune! It has a very old fashioned sound (and that is very much a compliment!).

    Thanks, John. It's a lovely instrument that is a lot of fun to play. It's also a lot of fun, in non-quarantine times, to watch responses from people who see the stained top when I take it out of its case.

    Here's the latest piece I've been learning, called 'Sahel', which translates to shore/beach.



    And here's the sheet music for anyone who wants to give it a go (open image in new tab for full size):

    Here is a video by the Providence Mandolin Orchestra (PMO) of Konrad Wölki's (1903-1983) "Tafelmusik" for recorder and plucked string ensemble. The video was made for the virtual open mic event (November 13, 2021) at the Classical Mandolin Society of America's "Convention in the Clouds". The recorder soloist is PMO member Michael J. Raymond, Jr. There are four movements: Poco Allegretto, Adagio, Allegro Marciale, and Poco Allegretto. The Providence Mandolin Orchestra is directed by Mark Davis. First mandolins are Lynne Bell, Chris Chito, Mark Davis, and John Rufo. Second mandolins are Mark Chuoke, Marcie Glicksman and Paul Wilde. The mandola section is Gayle Raposa (mandola in C) and myself (Robert Margo) on mandola in G (octave). The guitar section is Mark Armstrong, Beverly Davis, and James Macartney. On mandocello is Oliver Reid, and Hiatt Kniapp is the bassist.

    This is an arrangement for solo mandola in G (octave mandolin) of George Harrison, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". The arrangement is dedicated to the late John Goodin. The video was made for the virtual open mic at the Classical Mandolin Society of America's "Convention in the Clouds" held this past weekend. The instrument is by Alfred Woll (2005).

    Nice--that Dola has a nice low register, would this work on mandocello? Always interesting and creative Tim. I hope my CMSA Mandocello colleagues enjoyed your selections I included in my session. You are definitely taking the mandolin family into the 21st Century.

    Thanks Jim, you know I think this piece might be stretchy for mandocello, but perhaps someone could work out the fingering, or possibly use 2 instruments or an alternate tuning. I'm pretty sure its notated somewhere, happy to share if interested, its a fairly new piece and is very much in its original form as when I first composed it, probably more than a year ago now. I really enjoyed the symposium in the clouds, particularly the Even Marshall stuff, he is a true master.
