Fingerstyle Excursions	The pieces in this collection are derived from the recordings The Nutcracker Suite and Guitar Bazaar. They represent two fundamental approaches to "juggling" a solo guitar: arranging and composing. Tim's adaptation of Tchiakovsky's Nutcracker Suite is known for its excellence and ingenuity, while his extraordinary talent for composition is exhibited in his beautiful rhythmic elaborations on Eastern European folk dances. In notation and tablature. 88 pages with an accompanying CD. Titles include: 1. March of the Toy Soldiers 2. Guitar Bazaar 3. Bach n Aliya 4. It's Greek to Me 5. Sleeping Giant 6. Chasing the Dragon 7. Sailing to Byzantium 8. Dr. Smedvig's Berzerka
Balkan Dreams Suite	The music of the Balkans presents a treasure trove of possibilities to a fingerstyle guitarist. The pieces presented here are a small representation of the songs and dances to be encountered, really just scratching the surface. It is my hope that this collection will inspire your own investigations, adaptations and compositions. Titles include: 1. Merak N'Ty Ubana 2. Dimineatsa Dupa Nunta 3. Samiotisa 4. The Blues on Bartok St. 5. Karsilama Interlude 6. Chekerjankino 7. Cymbalom Dance 8. Gorome 9. U Largove Pa Ba Za 10. Fiddle Melody Guitar Player, March 1997 Balkan Dreams Suite by James Rotondi Review Grade: A If you're hungry for new rhythmic and harmonic material to chew on, try the exotic cuisine former National Fingerstyle Champion Tim Sparks serves up in this excellent volume. Drawing on the music of the former Yugoslavia as well as Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, these selections boast thrilling odd-meter rhythms--predominantly a lilting 7/8--evocative quarter-tone ornamentation and cool harmonies; check out Sparks' original "The Blues on Bartok St." to get out of your pentatonic rut. With the increasing visibility of Balkan composer/guitarists like Dusan Bogdanovic and Miroslav Tadic, now's a good time to discover the rich musical tradition of these regions, and Sparks' book is the perfect gateway Includes a gorgeous play-along CD that's worth the price of admission.
