• New in eBook and Print - A Baroque Sampler for Octave Mandolin

    27 Easy to Intermediate Pieces Selected from the Works of 13 Baroque Composers
    A Baroque Sampler for Octave Mandolin

    Fenton, Mo. — Mel Bay Publications, Inc. has announced the initial release of A Baroque Sampler for Octave Mandolin, by John Goodin as an eBook with print version released in the very near future.

    The book contains 27 easy to intermediate pieces from the Baroque era that have been carefully chosen and arranged to benefit from the longer scale and deeper voice of the octave mandolin.

    The music is presented in both standard notation and tablature, making it easily playable on the mandocello, mandola or standard mandolin. Thirteen composers are represented, including six pieces by J. S. Bach, four by G. F. Handel and three by G. P. Telemann.
