Quentin Tarantino is the prince of post-modern cinema. Reservoire Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and the Kill Bill films are sly, stylish stories of violence and revenge that have given B-movie motifs and retro tunes a new lease of life.

Here, in the first ever Tarantino songbook, we present a roaring rampage through all five of his sound tracks, plus the Tarantino dialogue-sampling classic 'Scooby Snacks' by The Fun Lovin' Criminals.

12 Classic tracks transcribed for guitar in tablature and standard notation, with melody line, lyrics and chord symbols.

This book deals with fifth, sixth and seventh positions on the cello. Coincidentally, because of the range of the notes commonly used in those positions, there is a lot of practice reading tenor clef. It is assumed that the student is already familiar with first through to fourth positions. Those positions are used in this book but not presented in a systematic manner. For that I refer you to Position Pieces For Cello Book 1.

Henry Lawes was christened at Dinton, Wiltshire on 5th January 1596. He was a pupil of John Cooper and become a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in 1626. He published some sacred songs in 1637 and 1648, and in the 1650s issued three sets of "Ayres and Dialogues". At the Restoration he was appointed Composer in the Private Musick for Lutes and Voices. In 1966 the British Museum acquired a large autograph manuscript containing over three hundred songs and dialogues composed by Henry Lowes between 1630 and 1650.The words of the first four songs in the present selection are by Carew (poet).

"Muzyka na dwie wiolonczele" Rogera Chapmana to utwór składający się z pięciu części: cz. I - Ouverture, cz. II - Dialogue, cz. III - Dance, cz. IV - Aria, cz. V - Finale. Części te są zróżnicowane pod względem tempa i charakteru. Jest to kompozycja napisana w harmonice nowoczesnej, aczkolwiek niekiedy nawiązującej do harmoniki dur - moll (np. w cz. III - Dance). Autor wykorzystuje typowe dla wiolonczeli techniki gry - grę pizzicato, con sordino (z tłumikiem), a także grę prostych flażoletów.

"Circulations for solo trombone" is built from seven segments based on intervallic structures ranging from the smallest to the largest intervals. The introduction and the ending are based on a fragment of a series of harmonics: the work starts with the note F, proceeds to the highest possible note and then returns to the note F in the final segment. The form involving the passing through the particular intervals in the segments as well as the introduction and its mirror reflection in the ending gives the work a circular scheme, hence the title of the work.
The work "Combinations on Olympus" for solo trombone was inspired by Greek mythology. The piece consists of four sections based on the classical forms used in: the invocation, song, dance and epitaph. With the exception of the epitaph, they are constantly interrupted by the contemporary way of narration, which, as it were, breaks in upon the classical order. Thus a dialogue between the past and the present develops. Despite the presence of ritual elements, I do not wish to include any religious implications here. This is just another attempt to express the world existing in our imagination.

Całość David Amram zadedykował swojej żonie Lorze Lee i synkowi Adamowi na pierwsze urodziny. Premiera "Travels" miała miejsce w szkole muzycznej w Julliard 26 marca 1985 roku.

The main theme with a hint a of cabaret - style is introduce by the violin in the 3rd measure, and then picked up by the cello in a slightly modified version and so both string instruments conduct a polyphonic dialogue throughout the whole Allegretto. Having aquainted ondeself thoroughly with Part One of the Trio, one gets the impression that that the composer has two obsessions (in the positive sense of the word). Rhythm and Art of Counterpoint, and i would describe Ms. Jonas' harmonic sense as Controlled Sonority. Part Two - Elegy: The texture based on very interesting harmony (predominatly sonority); construction of the piece is excellent with beautoful culmination in 15th and 16th measure, and on top of that a certain special longing and ruefulness noticeable in nearly every measure. Part Three - Rondino: The palette of sounds plays a insignificant role in this work (glissando and col legno of strings), but one also notices a transformation, the Piano Trio becomes a Jazz Combo!

Although Romuald Twardowski wrote the Three Studies - caprices for solo violin in 1992, it took quite a long time for the work to make it to the world premiere, due to his uncertainty regarding the way the second study should be performed with its changeable, capricious mood. It was not until several years later that he succeeded in giving it the form of a dialogue - a clash between two opposing phrases. Andrzej Gębski completed it, editing its performance. The first public presentation of the work took place in Warsaw on 13 December 2005.
