Six Pavans for Ukulele Quartet

Description of book

Six Pavans by Luis de Milán from the Renaissance adapted for Ukulele Quartet using musical notation.

Ancient music written for the modern ukulele ….. None!

Playing ancient music on the ukulele ….. Absolutely!

This collection six Pavans by Luis de Milan from the Renaissance and early Baroque periods (from 1500 to 1650) are adapted and arranged for Ukulele Quartet using modern musical notation. For best performance, Ukuleles part 1 and 2 should be a soprano, concert or tenor ukulele in standard tuning as g-C-E-A (i.e. re-entrant tuning using a high G tuning for the fourth string), Ukulele part 3 should be tenor ukulele with linear tuning as G-C-E-A (i.e. using a low G for the fourth string), and Ukulele part 4 should be a baritone ukulele with standard tuning as D-G-B-E. Alternatively, Ukulele parts 1, 2 and 3 can be played using Renaissance guitars or classical guitars with capo at the 5th fret and Ukulele part 4 can be played on a classical guitar. Notes about the composer are at the back of this book.
