JazzMando What's New - The music of J.S. Bach's works for keyboard and violin family instruments sound terrific and adapt easily to mandolin. The two-part inventions and movements from the cello suites 1 and 3 recently published by Debora Chen are supplied in tab and notation, and were selected "specifically because they lay well on the fretboard and require only as much sustain as a mandolin naturally has. Cello suite movements and Invention 15 are transposed to mando appropriate keys; the rest are mando friendly in their original keys."
MANDOLIN DUETS:
J.S. Bach Selected Two-Part Inventions, arranged and edited for two mandolins (in tab and standard notation). Includes inventions 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15.
Limited sale at String Thing Music until 1/1/09: $12.95 (reg. $16.95)
For mandolinists trying to break away from tab, the score is provided in notation only for reading practice and may be read by two mandolinists sharing a stand; the parts for mandolin I and mandolin II include standard notation, and tab/suggested fingerings for reference as needed, or for mandolinists who prefer reading tab. (Editing favors easiest-to-reach fingering.) Includes running bar numbers for easy rehearsal. The score and mandolin I are bound in one book (39 pages), mandolin II is included as a separate pull-out booklet (18 pages).
Don't have a convenient partner to play with? No problem; play-along MP3's for both mando 1 and mando 2, played slowly with metronome clicks, are available free at the String Thing Music website (http://www.stringthingm.com/J.S.Bach_Mandolin_Arrangeme.html). Use them to help learn each voice, or to play the opposite one from the one you are playing yourself.
Purchase: String Thing Music (http://www.stringthingm.com/Shop.html)
Always wanted to learn to play standard notation but thought you never could? Debora's got the answer! Here critically acclaimed method book Standard Notation for the Tab-Addicted Mandolinist (http://www.stringthingm.com/Standard_Notation_Tab_Mando.html) has been a key bridge for many mandolinists, and has opened a whole new world of centuries of literature and current print materials.
