Guitar Ensembles By Naftali Lahav

Contemplations  [PDF_$18]

Harvest  [Hard Copy_$26]
A piece for recorder, guitar and harpsichord or piano.
The piece is based on a dance performed during the celebration of the first crops (Heb: BIKURIM) Folk Israeli dance-song, written by Matityahu Shalem, one of the founders of new Israeli folk music on the 40^th. This piece begins like the original song, but later evolves into something renascent, with new motifs, new rhythms and new-year's first crops.

Two Duets  [Hard Copy_$12]
Two pieces for cello and guitar.
The first etude is called ”Duet”. This is a short, expressionistic piece in which the cello and the guitar present themes and resolutions. The contrasts between the cello’s heavy (and slow) melody, and the guitar’s light (and slow) melody create a duet.

The second etude is called “MEETING”  means: encounter. The cello begins with a traditional theme of a Baroque nature. The guitar bursts in with something new, perhaps fresher, in the spirit of the 20^th century. As the piece progresses the two instruments undergo an experience together, and finally, the cello ”agrees” to play the “modern” motif presented by the guitar.

Trio  [Hard Copy_$12]
A piece for guitar, viola and flute (or violin).
In this piece each instrument has a unique character and role. What gives the piece its beauty and uniqueness is the fact that though the three instruments (roles) are combined, each retains its core and special characteristics.

Cello Sonata no. 1 by Antonio Vivaldi P[PDF_$26]DF_$22]
This is a version for cello and guitar.
The part of the guitar was transcribed by Lahav.
The piece is written in B flat major, and the dominant tone is F. Therefore, in the guitar part of this transcription the sixth string (E) is F.
The piece requires an experienced player with excellent technique and sound. The result will justify any effort!
