Alonso Mudarra (1510-1580) : The Six Works for Guitar 1546 (18 pages – 4 Mo) . Adaptation for classical guitar and fingering by Jean-François Delcamp
The first of these 6 pieces is written for a guitar tuned to “al temple viejo,” which is DO SOL SI MI. The following five works are written for a guitar tuned as usual today, with the top 4 strings: D G B E.
Regarding technical difficulty, you can greatly facilitate playing by placing a capo on fret 5 or 7 to reduce finger stretches.
These pieces, from the early 16th century, have a style that can still resonate with our ears in the 21st century. Personally, this is music that calms me, brings me serenity, and connects me to the sky, the earth, and living beings.
