Cello,Instrumental Duet,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1371762 Composed by Socrates Arvanitakis. 21st Century,Contemporary. 75 pages. Socrates Arvanitakis #955993. Published by Socrates Arvanitakis (A0.1371762). GENERAL PREFACEThis edition of violin and violoncello duets follows closely my publication of the same Greek folk pieces for classical guitar. The arrangements for guitar solo were written in two-part counterpoint and followed the strophic form of the folk songs involved. The melodic transcriptions of the folk melodies were not based in any particular performance, also avoiding the elaborate in many cases instrumental introductions associated with these songs. Thus, only the vocal melodies in a general recognizable version were presented. This new presentation for instrumental duets will stay with this generalised melodic version (without exploiting the instrumental introductions), but the form from strophic will become ternary (ABA). In the middle section the main melody will be played in the lower voice and the original guitar contrapuntal voice will be used in the upper voice if by chance it includes invertible counterpoint, otherwise new material will be added to fit the rules but also the intended harmony.The total collection is centred more on the music from mainland Greece and less in that from the Islands.The three dance rhythms of Kalamatianos (7/8), Tsamikos (3/4), and Syrtos Balos (2/4) are predominant in the whole first collection.TECHNICALSeparate parts have been included and they can be extracted as separate files with any free PDF editing programme on line.Empty pages have been added for inclusion/deletion at will and left-right hand page arrangement.Thematic Index with active internal links for ease of navigation have been added.Audio file (mp3) has been addedCONTENTS130 ΜΑΛΑΜΩ (MALAMO-The Golden)131 ΜΑΝΙΑΤΙΚΟΣ (Dance from Mani)132 ΜΑΝΤΗΛΙ ΚΑΛΑΜΑΤΙΑΝΟ(Neckerchief from Kalamata)133 ΜΑΡΑΘΗΚΕ ΚΙΤΡΟΛΕΪΜΟΝΙΑ (It withered, Citro-Lemon Tree)134 ΜΑΡΙΑ ΠΕΝΤΑΓΙΩΤΙΣΣΑ  (Maria from Five-Saints Village)135 ΜΑΡΤΥΡΙΑ Η (The Testimony)136 ΜΑΤΙΑ ΣΑΝ ΚΑΙ ΤΑ ΔΙΚΑ ΣΟΥ 1 (Eyes Like Yours 1)137 ΜΑΥΡΙΔΕΡΗ Η (The Blackish One)138 ΜΑΥΡΟ ΓΕΜΕΝΙ (Black Kerchief)139 ΜΕ ΓΕΛΑΣΕ Ν' Η ΧΑΡΑΥΓΗ (The Dawn Fooled Me)140 ΜΕΛΑΧΡΟΙΝΟ 1 (Dark Lass 1)141 ΜΕΛΑΧΡΟΙΝΟ 2 ΤΟ (The Dark One 2)142 ΜΕΝΟΥΣΗΣ Ο (Menoussis)143 ΜΕΡΜΥΓΚΑΣ (The Master Ant)144 ΜΙΑ ΒΛΑΧΑ (A Wallachian Woman)145 ΜΙΑ ΚΟΡΗ ΑΠΟΦΑΣΙΣΕ (A Maiden Decided).
