Ensemble Sheet Music for May 1st Meeting

Here is the music we will be playing during the open ensemble session at the May 1st meeting. Please download the scores, take a look at which parts you would like to play, and try them out. Then bring a copy of your parts along with your guitar and music stand to the meeting, join in, and have some fun! You can always simplify your part if you find it too much to deal with.

I recommend you practice your parts for both La Paloma and Mysterious Barricades ahead of time. To help with this I have posted an MP3 file of La Paloma and a YouTube video of a trio performing Andrew Forrest’s arrangment of Mysterious Barricades. Try playing along with the recordings to give yourself a sense of how the part you selected to play fits in with the others. But don’t worry too much – just come along and give it a try!

Ensemble Sheet Music for April 3rd Guitar Society Meeting

Please find below the music scores for the open ensemble session at the upcoming Guitar Society Meeting on April 6th. I am delighted that our member Martin Erwig is treating us to another composition that he has written for the Society titled “Sigh of Relief”. He has included an MP3 file so you can hear what it sounds like. Thank you Martin!
I have also included an MP3 file for La Paloma to help anyone who wishes to practice their part in the context of the whole piece.
Please download the parts, decide which ones you wish to play, and bring a copy along with your guitar and music stand to the meeting. Don’t worry if you don’t want to play all the pieces. If some seem too hard, then simplify your part. Just join in wherever you wish and have fun!
