This book will allow guitarists to propose to their clients a variety of pieces in duet (or little ensemble) that are well-known to the audience. It will be easy to sight read them on the guitar, or simply read the chords that are placed above the guitar staff. This second option allows any harmonic instrument (piano or harp for example) to play the accompaniement from the same score. The forms are simple, short and the arrangements are focused on the main musical theme (sometimes the developpment has been excluded from the arrangements).
The serie of arrangements for guitar and violin (or any other melodic instrument) that I propose in this book has been thought of as the perfect tool for professional musicians aware of the need to accomodate easily and quickly the requests of people needing music performances in the context of a cocktail or any special event to create a nice ambiance.

“Here is an agreeable collection of 18 classic works aimed towards the Intermediate duo of violin and guitar. It is the type of material which is ideal for functions such as weddings, funerals - that type of thing; and then of course there is always the informal concert.
Throughout, David Jacques has done a good job in his arrangements, the guitar parts have enough interest to keep the accompanist awake and of course the player on the melody instrument has all the enduring tunes to enjoy performing.
A lot of the usual suspects are here: Bach (Air). Albinoni (Adagio), Handel (Air; Lascia ch'io pianga; Largo; Canticorum Jubila), Schubert (Ave Maria), Mozart (Ave Verum Corpus; Laudate Dominum), Pachelbel (Canon), Vivaldi (Winter; Spring), Mendelssohn (Wedding March), Massenet (Meditation de Thais), Wagner (Brautlied) plus a couple of surprises in the form of Franck's Panis Angelicus and Puccini's 0 Mio Babbino Caro.
Full score and separate part for the melodic instrument are provided plus, as a bonus, two single sheets are inserted in the book to avoid page turns!”
