Berceuse by Issac Albeniz arranged for three guitars by Jacques Chandonnet

Dear All,

I have to admit, the final product turned out quite different from how I originally imagined this piece. The expressive, agogic style that suits this type of music just wasn’t possible under the constraints I faced. Because of the overdubbing, I had to use a click track, which made it impossible to perform the many ritardandos as written. I also decided to ignore the tempo change from Andante to Adagio in the final seven measures. As for the fermatas, I added a beat to each to avoid making them feel rushed.
This all started as a simple sight-reading exercise to show how challenging it is to play consistently in the center of the beat. Honestly, I’m not sure I fully achieved that goal. What I thought would take 30 minutes quickly evolved into something much bigger—it ended up taking a couple days of my life..

Despite all the limitations I placed on myself, I hope the result is still musical and enjoyable to listen to.

Because this is recorded with a Click-Track (Metronome), it can easily be used as Music minus One. That is, if you wanted to play along with me.Just PM me, I would make the track and send it to you. Free. For now😅.

Cheers,
Patrick
