Vibraphone / Classical guitar

JoePorter 12 March 2010

Hi,

A friend of mine who plays very good classical guitar would like some vibraphone / guitar duet pieces potentially.

We are thinking of:

The Piazolla flute/guitar duets
Toccatta and Divertimento for guitar plus vibes by Ney Rosauro

What else would you recommend we try?

thanks,

Joe

This might sound a little predictable, but I'd be curious to know how well the most recognizable classical pieces transfer to a vibes/guitar setting. I'm thinking about pieces like Pachelbel's Canon and maybe things that could be played in a violin/piano format but adapted.

Consider looking at some of the 1970's Hubert Laws CD's that David Friedman played on, and there were a number of classical adaptations that were very appealing. The titles start with 1971's Afro-Classic CD and run about four or five CD's, and include pieces by Bach, Mozart, Debussy, Satie, and Faure among others.
