A Collection
of Original Music for Hammered Dulcimer by Sam Rizzetta
Historically, music composed specifically for the hammered dulcimer
has been rare. Here are 56 Rizzetta original pieces, including reels,
waltzes, hornpipes, jigs, rags, blues, boogie, airs, and music for meditation
and healing, that explore all the depth, power, versatility, and emotion
of this ancient and expressive instrument. The book includes background
about the people, places, and events that inspired each composition.
While some pieces require a 16/15 chromatic dulcimer, many fit a 12/11.
Melody lines are in standard notation with chord symbols. Many have
variations with advanced ornamentation; some have alternate arrangements
for four octave chromatic dulcimers. In addition to solos, there are
six ensemble arrangements, including quartets, which are useful for
groups and workshop teachers. While this collection is most appropriate
for intermediate and experienced players, advanced beginners will be
able to play some of the tunes. The collection includes originals from
the Sam Rizzetta CDs Dulcimer Boogie, Saving Trees, Trapezoid, Flowing
Waters, Ocean¹s Edge, Bucks & Does, and Seven Valleys.

Let's Jam
Vol. 1
by Kendra Ward and Bob Bence
Let's Jam is the ultimate jam session resource! Kendra Ward and Bob
Bence have compiled 70 classic jam session favorites into one easy-to-carry
volume! Each tune is presented in two distinctly different, user-friendly
formats. First, a basic chord/rhythm chart appears on the left side
of each page. Use this to play the chord progression, play arpeggios,
improvise a harmony part or play a counter melody. Next,
a simple unembellished melody line for the same tune appears on the
right side of the page. This basic melody quickly gets right to the
essence of the tune, virtually begging each player to add their own
individual harmonies and embellishments. The
"blank canvas" version of each melody makes Let's Jam a terrific
sourcebook for players looking for a starting point to create their
own arrangements too! Song list: Click
