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.

No fingering has been added so that the performer can decide on their own.
