Tango Angelita (for voice and guitar or guitar solo) (P. Romero)
Don Celedonio Romero, one of the most influential guitarists of the century, wrote this charming tango in 1933 to attract the attention of Angelita (Ines de los Angeles Gallego Molina), the woman who became his wife and the mother of his brilliant sons. The passionate Spanish lyrics reveal that Romero was as fine a poet and wordsmith as he was a musician. Published here for the first time; "... an utterly charming classic tango with a very simple and effective melody accompanying the poetry of Celedonio Romero's lyrics. ... Beautifully and lovingly produced, the preface by Pepe Romero explains the origins of the work. ... With the passing of Celedonio Romero we have surely lost a true gentleman of the guitar whose compositions will remind us of a gallantry and elegance we seem to be busily hurrying away from. Pure charm." -- Emma Martinez, Classical Guitar. 2 pp. music, 3 pp. introduction, illustrations and poetry. [View Excerpts, Etc.]

Trio Sonata No. 5 in a (for recorder/flute/violin, and violin, guitar continuo, and cello) (Welch)
Leo Welch has selected one of Telemann's most attractive trio sonatas (no. 5, from Essercizii musici, 1739-40), and arranged a continuo part that falls naturally on the guitar. " ... an all-time favorite of mine in a magnificent new setting with a guitar continuo ... a gorgeous 12" x 9", 11-page score with separate parts for all four instruments. ... This is Telemann in top form and the reason I'm enthusiastic about this edition, apart from the beauty and logical layout of the score and all parts, is the remarkably fine realization in that perfect key of A minor for guitar. The four movements are all exceptional The opening Largo intertwines a lovely melody with itself as in the slow movement of Bach's Concerto for Two Violins. The following Vivace is a comic riot,the sort of lightningly rapid dialogue Telemann brings off so well, full of hockets, two Gilbert-and-Sullivan patter songs at the same time, bouncing off each other's lines with the cello occasionally horning in. The third movement, Affettuoso, combines two sentimental--handkerchief-wringing--tunes that show all instruments off to best advantage. The finale is a canonic steeplechase with the violin two quick beats behind the recorder in the first half and two beats ahead in the second. The cello whips into the fray in both halves. In its absence the line is covered by "ossia" passages for guitar. This is a piece all good players must have." --Gene Reichenthal, Early Music Newsletter. "It is ... all you would expect of this composer at his best." --Music Teacher. Score and parts, with optional cello part and original figured bass. Score and Parts: Score - 11 pp., Guitar Continuo - 4 pp., Recorder/Flute/Violin - 4 pp., 2nd Violin - 4 pp., Violoncello/Basso Continuo - 3 pp., Introduction - 1 p. [View Excerpts, Etc.]
