Oll En Garriow En Beaz V2 (with coda)

Arrangement for 2 mandolins, octave mandolin and bass

Sarajevo Beautiful Place

A wonderful Welsh traditional tune, in two versions, which I have spliced together here.  Arranged for mandolin ensemble.  This is the Sibelius mix down, NOT real instruments.  Real recording coming soon :)

The Cuckoos Nest

An Dufunyans and Sandy's chant are two Cornish carols that I have been performing with various ensembles for a few years now.  I have even done a solo guitar arrangement.  This version, with a slow introduction composed by me, has been arranged for a mandolin ensemble consisting of 2 mandolins, an octave mandolin, and a bass.  This file has been generated from software instruments in Logic, so isn't great, but we hope that this, and all my other Mando Chutney arrangements on this site, will soon be recorded for our first album.

An Dufunyans

An arrangement of this great Police song by myself for a group of mandolins in 5 parts.

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic For Mandolin Ensemble V1.7

This is a suite of 3 Andros from Brittany, the first by Alan Stivell, and last two be Padrig Sicard.  This is a Sibelius mixdown of an arrangement I have just down for a mandolin ensemble- 2 mandolins, octave mandolin and acoustic bass.  

Breton Suite V2 (key Change)

I’ve been wanting to arrange this wonderful tune for years, every since hearing it performed by guitarist Tony McManus.  His version introduced me to this tune, but the original version by the brilliant Breton guitarist Soig Siberil is also very wonderful.  This version of mine is arranged for a mandolin ensemble consisting of 2 mandolins, octave mandolin and bass.  This is a Sibelius rendition of the score, so not great as a musical performance!

Kishors Tune for Mandolin Ensemble

Steve Nightley Home to a Million Thoughts

A rather lop sided waltz (which isn't even in 3/4).  Still, it sounds like a waltz to me!  Leo is my son, and this is his little tune.

I really want the melody played on cello- I'm waiting for my wife to learn it!  In the meantime here it is played on a Brook steel string in CGCGCD tuning with partial capo at the 9th (yes 9th!) fret, and an Alhambra classical.
