A "must" for group teaching and first ensemble experiences! This widely acclaimed series of graded anthologies with 3 and 4 part pieces has proven to be of considerable value for the development of musicality for beginners and intermediate players. More advanced players will find a wealth of sight-reading and performing material in these books. Most of the four part pieces are written on three staves, thus allowing a more experienced player to play two of the parts at the same time. These are very easy 3 and 4 part pieces. In the first section, everybody plays in the first position. In the second section, the first guitar plays in higher positions but without changing position. The third section includes easy position playing in all parts. Works by Susato, Attaignant, Scheidt, Gastoldi, Dowland, Arbeau and Bach among others.
