This collection is the first volume of a sheet music book series dedicated to Greek folk music, a very interesting, genuine and compound musical genre of great harmonic and rhythmic value, which is now widely considered as a precious cultural inheritance gaining admirers all over the world. The purpose of this series is to document some of the classical Greek folk musical pieces with as much detail and accuracy as possible (including improvisational -taksimi- parts) instead of presenting just a general view of these songs, something that has already been done several times before. In addition, this book series cover all the usual harmonic and melodic variations of the songs, as encountered in the numerous executions, appeared until today. Everything is written both in English and Greek. All musical scores include both standard notation and tablature. But most important, each book goes with the respective audio material (over 100 rehearsal/backing tracks), which can be downloaded from the book’s website after your purchase.
This volume consists of 12 Greek folk songs, based on the traditional 3-string bouzouki, that have been arranged for all the instruments of a basic folk band. Particularly, the songs consist of one singing voice, 1st and 2nd bouzouki, one baglamas and one classical guitar. This compilation focuses on songs with the very distinctive time signature of 9/8, which usually are labeled as “zeibekiko” or “karsilamas” style. However, some songs with other interesting time signatures, have been included too. The musical arrangements presented here are the outcome of a very thorough work, so that they remain devoted to the original compositions, but also maintain their balance between the beautiful plainness of the music phrases and the rich and challenging playing.

Song contents Prin to harama (Papaioannou), Drapetsona (Theodorakis/Livaditis), Tou Votanikou o magas (Bithikotsis/Tsolis), Nyhtose horis feggari (Kaldaras), Ta matoklada sou laboun (Vamvakaris), Aliti m’ ipes mia vradia (Hatzichristos), Tha kano dou vre poniri (Tsitsanis/Virvos), Stou Thoma (Ksarhakos/Ferris), Eho enan kafene (Loizos/Papadopoulos), Sa magemeno to myalo mou (Bayanderas), Fysai o batis (Tsitsanis), I Hartaeti (Theodorakis)

The book contains detailed transcriptions of 1st and 2nd bouzouki (six-string exclusively), as well as voice, baglama and guitar parts for each song. Plus a presentation of various alternative harmonic parts for most of the songs and of course accompanying practice audio material.
A much better work than most of the average simplified Greek song transcriptions that you can find around, which usually contain just the basic melodic line of a song.

I would definitely suggest it to someone who is past the beginner level and wants a more thorough approach to some classic songs.
