When A Knight Won His Spurs - intermediate/advanced guitar solo

A traditional English folksong known originally as 'Sweet Europe'. The tune was notated in 1905; around twenty five years later, Joyce Anstruther added hymn words ('When a knight won his spurs in the stories of old, he was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold' etc). This lovely tune lends itself very well to DADGAD tuning.

Molly McAlpin - intermediate harp solo

This lovely Irish tune is sometimes called 'Carolan's Dream,' because it was a favourite of the harper Turlough O'Carolan. The tune was actually written by another harper called Thomas O'Connellan, who was born around 1640. It lends itself beautifully to a slow tempo, arpeggiated chords and ethereal harmonics.

Maurice Condie's Waltz - intermediate/advanced guitar solo

Many years ago, Maurice Condie was the first coach to introduce me to the DADGAD tuning. I wrote this pretty waltz for him in 2001, and then lost it. In 2025 I rediscovered an old, tatty piece of paper... and notated it properly. I've added an intro and an outro, but otherwise it's identical to the 2001 version.

The Queen's Marsh - intermediate piano solo

Barbara Allen - easy/intermediate piano solo

Barbara Allen is a traditional Northern English melody, arranged here for piano. The arrangement looks/sounds relatively simple but the span of the melody and the jumps in the left hand take the piece beyond easy, into early intermediate territory. No fingering has been added so that the performer can decide on their own.

$3.00

Blind Mary - intermediate guitar duet

This lovely O'Carolan tune (composed in the early 1700's) is still very popular today. I've used DADGAD tuning and arranged it here for two guitars. Guitar one plays the tune throughout, with guitar two taking the accompaniment.

$5.00

Lazarus - intermediate guitar solo

'Lazarus' began life as a medieval English religious ballad, and has been frequently re-used with different lyrics. It's the basis for several hymns including 'Kingsfold', and was used as the tune for the Irish ballad 'Star of the County Down'. I've reverted to the original title to reflect its English biblical origins.

Silent Night - easy guitar ensemble

Austrian - Mohr and Gruber, 1818. One of ten lovely traditional Christmas carols, arranged in four parts (in regular notation). They're ideal for seasonal concerts and festive school events. The highest parts can also be played by other melody instruments.

Calliope House - easy/intermediate harp solo

Calliope House was written in 1984 by Dave Richardson, while he played with the ever-changing lineup of 'Boys from the Lough'. The tune quickly became part of the traditional canon; I learned it in a session in the North of England, many years ago. In this arrangement, I changed the key to G major and added some syncopation in the left hand. Intervals of a tenth may be tricky for harpists with small hands, but these can be substituted for an octave, or even just the single lowest bass note of each pair.

French, late Medieval or Renaissance (lyrics and new name added later by by English composer George Woodward). One of ten lovely traditional Christmas carols, arranged in four parts (in regular notation). They're ideal for seasonal concerts and festive school events.

The Humours of Castlecomer - easy/intermediate guitar solo

This Irish jig originates from Castlecomer in Kilkenny, Leinster, Ireland. Also known as The Humours of Castle Comer, the tune appears in notated music collections from 1870 onwards. It's likely much older. I've arranged it here in DADGAD tuning for solo guitar. The bass is a simple repeated open string which provides a drone-style accompaniment.

English traditional, possibly medieval in origin. One of ten lovely traditional Christmas carols arranged in four parts (in regular notation). They're ideal for seasonal concerts and festive school events. The highest parts can also be played by other melody instruments.
