Book excerpt: This collection of classic folksongs has been beautifully arranged for guitar ensembles of beginning to intermediate ability or for two players with more advanced skill. All parts stay in the first position except for guitar 1. the parts have been written in two staves; guitars 1 & 3 in staff one and guitars 2 & 4 in staff 2. Pull out parts are provided to avoid any page turns. A separate piano score, written just below the guitar score, has been included to help guitar ensemble directors who have more experience with piano than guitar. These versatile arrangements present a traditional harmonization of the theme followed by a more adventuresome variation.
