An anonymous Peruvian Baroque piece in A minor from the Lima Manuscript of Guitar Tablature (late 18th century), originally for 6-course guitar (a transitional guitar with six pairs, or “courses”, of strings), transcribed for 10-string guitar by Viktor van Niekerk. Played live, unedited and unprocessed. (If some distortion is heard, this is due to youtube’s compression of the original file. Best to listen with headphones.)

Magnolia. Let me offer you this very nice flower. Composed by Roque Carbajo, this song speaks to us of passing time and growing children. I must say that I’ve had problem to learn it. Some parts are just quite hard to play. I told Roque it was tough, he just said that it will be a good investment for my guitar playing ! Roque is a teacher you know…

If you like it, do not hesitate to tweet and share on Facebook.

As usual, you’re most welcome to go on my website to get the sheet music.

Hope you enjoy.

Miguel Angel Cherubito (*1941) MILONGA, movement 2 from “Suite Popular Argentina” (1989, dedicated to Narciso Yepes)

Played by Viktor van Niekerk, 10-string guitar

Standard tuning of the 10-string guitar designed by Yepes (afinación estándar de la guitarra 10 cuerdas):

7=C2 [the lowest string / la más baja]
8=A#2 / Bb2
9=G#2 / Ab2
10=F#2 / Gb2

SCORDATURA of the standard tuning for this piece:
6=D2
9=G2
10=F2

“The Milonga also comes originally from Spain and can be danced as well as sung. It resembles the Habanera but is faster-moving. There are two kinds of Milonga: the country version, which is sung and in which the interpreter improvises; and the town version, from Buenos Aires, which may be sung and danced. This is faster than the country version and may contain various themes: melancholy, romantic or amusing. The Milonga from my suite has a dramatic character and belongs to the country type.” (M. A. Cherubito)

The complete SUITE POPULAR ARGENTINA will be available later in 2012 on Viktor van Niekerk’s album “From the Antipodes (Guitar Music of the Southern Hemisphere)”.
