Another book of arrangements by Helen Johnson is now
available. A demo CD is included . This book
should appeal to most dulcimer players (and those who play with them)
because it includes arrangements ranging from easy to more difficult.
Also, several styles of playing are included,
such as pick-and-strum and strum, depending on the type of song. Several duets
are included. The book includes arrangements
of songs from years long past; hence the title: Remembrance--Windows to
the Past. Historical notes on most of the songs are included towards
the end of the book. All are in D-A-D tuning and include chords,
lyrics (where available) and a picking/-strumming pattern in the tablature.
Three songs require a capo.
The CD is NOT studio quality but is intended to
demonstrate how songs sound which may be unfamiliar to the player.
Each song, except "Gentle Maiden," is played through twice on the CD.
When a duet is played on the CD, the tune is played first and then the
harmony.
I hope you will enjoy discovering and playing these
arrangements as much as I did.
