MAGIC MANDOLIN, 30 Folk songs and melodies from around the world, Josef. CD TAB.

Product Description:
****DISCONTINUED SEPTEMBEAR 25, 2006.****

Folk songs are a record of history which survive wars and revolution. They are derived from different phases of the human condition. Carried by gypsies, storytellers, peddlers, and migrant farmers throughout the continents, they are snapshots of the past, moments in time, frozen in song. The mandolin has found its way into a myriad of cultures. This collection contains folk tunes from Russia, Poland, Macedonia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Peru with lyrics written in the original language with phonetic transliteration as well as English translations. Songs are written in both notation and tablature. A special section containing chord diagrams, scales, and a glossary of musical terms is included. This collection is intended to increase awareness of folk music. Magic Mandolin will appeal to mandolinists of all levels. The companion listening CD contains arrangements of eight of the tunes found in the book.
