A selection of intermediate to advanced motetes from the Renaissance (16th century) adapted for the Ukulele or Renaissance Guitar, using musical notation and tablature.
Ancient music written for the modern ukulele ….. None!
Playing ancient music on the ukulele ….. Absolutely!
This collection of intermediate to advanced motetes from the Renaissance (16th century) are adapted and arranged for the Ukulele or Renaissance Guitar, using both modern musical notation and tablature. The pieces in this book are grouped by composer and in roughly the same order as the original books. When playing a soprano, concert or tenor ukulele, linear tuning is required (i.e. using a low G string). Notes about the composers are at the back of this book.
Contents:
“O Regem coeli” & “Salvator qui est Christus” (Andreas de Silva)
“Cum appropinquasset” (Mathieu Gascongne)
“Letentur omnes” & “Hec maria suit” (Lupus Hellinck)
“Hodierna lux” & “Ave domina” (Lupus Hellinck)
“Qui confidunt in domino” & “Benefac domine” (Lupus Hellinck)
“Ave Maria” (Adrian Willaert)
Recordings of the pieces played at various tempos are posted on YouTube (search for A Trove of Motetes on the Ukulele or Ancient Music for Ukulele).
