About this product

Product Information

Famous Solos and Duets for the Ukulele presents ukulele music as you have never seen or heard it before. An anthology of pieces selected from the earliest known methods and collections published for the ukulele between 1909 and 1920, Famous Solos and Duets is newly engraved in both standard notation and tablature and contains extensive fingering and performance instructions. Edited, arranged, and performed by ukulele virtuoso and historian John King, this collection makes the original, classic repertoire of this charming little instrument available to the public for the first time in nearly a century. The Preface, informative and thoroughly researched, places the ukulele and its music in historical context, from its early days in Hawai'i, to its widespread popularity on the Mainland. Showcasing pieces which are both challenging and beautiful, Early Solos and Duets features the music of Queen Lili'uokalani, King Kalakaua, Ernest Ka'ai, Henry Kailimai, George Awai, George Kia Nahaolelua, N. B. Bailey and Vadah Olcott Bickford. Also included in Early Solos and Duets are invaluable instructions for the different styles of strumming as played by the Father of the ukulele, Ernest Ka'ai. The CD contains all 22 pieces expertly performed by Mr. King.

    Great for Ukulele solos

    I got this book new and have only had it a few days. It comes with a music CD so that you can hear the music as it should be played, which is kind of nice. This is for ukulele players that want to do more than just strum chords. Each song has the music written out with ukulele tablature below it. The late John king was a Navy brat and started on the ukulele at age 6 by his mother, while his dad (and family) were stationed in Hawaii. He was not very good at first and moved on to learning classical guitar eventually teaching it at Eckerd College. He kept picking up the ukulele from time to time and later resurected A baroque guitar technique from the time of Bach and applied it to Ukulele. He was considered at the time of his death to be one of the worlds best classical ukulele virtuosos. I ...

    Grateful this is available.
