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

Playing ancient music on the ukulele ….. Absolutely!

This collection of intermediate pieces by Alonso Mudarra (ca 1510 - 1580) is for voice/instrument accompanied by Ukulele or Renaissance Guitar, using musical notation and tablature. The pieces in this book in roughly the same order as the original book, however, not all of the original pieces are included in this book of arrangements. When playing a soprano, concert or tenor ukulele, linear tuning is required (i.e. using a low G string). The vocal part is presented on a separate musical staff and can either be sung or can be played by an instrument, such as a recorder, flute, etc. Lyrics are both embedded in the score and presented as text in this book with additional verses where available. Notes about the composer and pieces are at the back of this book.
