Italian Folk Songs for Mandolin from Abruzzo

Collaborating with mandolinist, guitarist, and musicologist Franco Di Biase, a native of Archi in the Abruzzo region of southern Italy, world-renowned mandolinist Carlo Aonzo presents a new chapter of the Italian folk repertoire with 22 field-collected lively traditional dances and tunes still used in local festivals and serenades. The book is enhanced by vintage photos and evocative historical and performance notes in English and Italian. The music is written in standard notation and mandolin tablature with suggested chord changes. Access to online audio is included.
