We get so much sheet music sent to us by various publishers year \u2019round\u2014literally hundreds of pieces in every setting imaginable (solo guitar, multiple guitars, guitar-flute, guitar-harp, etc.)\u2014but we don\u2019t have the space to write about the great majority of them in our four quarterly issues each year.<\/p>\n

So, just as we are now listing new classical guitar CD releases every other Tuesday here, we now use the Tuesdays in between those to announce new print music releases. As with the CDs, these are not reviews (some\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0be reviewed in the magazine, but frankly most will not), but we think it\u2019s important to at least get the word out about what\u2019s being offered to guitarists out there. Where possible, we\u2019ve linked the titles to the publisher\u2019s website or some other outlet where it can be purchased, and stated the degree of difficulty (if provided by the publisher or it\u2019s obvious).\u00a0\u00a0\u2014Blair Jackson<\/em><\/p>\n

\"jackson\"
\nJonathan Jackson<\/strong>
\n24 Preludes<\/a> <\/strong><\/em>(solo guitar)
\nEurasian Editions, 24 pp.<\/p>\n

According to a review of this piece by British composer Jackson posted on the Eurasian Editions website, “The association with the Villa-Lobos cycle [12 Etudes<\/em>] is\u00a0so well-connected\u00a0with the purpose of this work that the 24 Preludes<\/em> make for a most impressive workout for intermediate instrumentalists\u2026\u00a0<\/span>Especially [as] they deal with issues not often addressed in guitar etudes and provide useful work as concert literature. They could be listed here as: polyrhythms, the independent conduct of three voices, reading notes in flats, etc. Above all, the series is a kind of compendium of a\u00a0knowledge of harmony.” Some free samples of the sheet music are available here<\/a>. Jackson has also written for guitar duo, harpsichord, harp, and chamber ensemble.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"ellias\"
\nRoddy Ellias<\/strong>
\nAt Peace<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>(solo guitar)
\nLes Productions D’Oz, 2 pp.<\/p>\n

Quebecois guitarist\/composer Ellias wrote this short, moving elegy in memory of Montreal keyboardist, teacher,\u00a0and choral conductor\u00a0Christopher Jackson (1948\u20132015). In the video below it’s played by Jordanian guitarist Tariq Harb:
