We have original
sheet music for classical guitar in Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF format.
If your printer has 600 dpi or greater, the printout will be of
at least the same quality as the sheet music you would buy in
a music store. And you can listen to the pieces in RealAudio played
by classical guitarist Richard
Miles Jackman. You also have the option of downloading the
RealAudio sound files for off-line listening.
To
listen to the pieces offered here, you must have RealAudioPlayer
installed. Due to the relatively small size of the sound files
you will be accessing, the tonal quality is considerably worse
than that of the original recording. However, the spirit of the
music will be evident. You will hear a real guitar being played
by a real classical guitarist rather than a technically perfect
yet artificial MIDI guitar. If you are interested in hearing the
full quality of the original recording, please
download this MP3 file
(240 KB). Of course you will have to listen to it over a
high fidelity sound system to hear this quality.
Here are
two beautiful musical scores for classical guitar, which you can
download for free:
Please
use Adobe Acrobat Reader version 4.0 or higher for viewing and
printing the sheet music. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader,
you can click
here download it free.

Impressions
is
a collection of classical guitar pieces composed sporadically
over a number of years. Each piece has its distinctive style
and mood. 'The Cobblers Shop', for example, written in two part
counterpoint, is reminiscent of a lively English folk song,
whereas the sombre harmonies of 'Silent Place' may be recognised
as being distinctively impressionistic. Some of the present
pieces were written specifically with the aspiring student in
mind, in which case an attempt was made to produce music which
sounds beautiful while avoiding unnecessary technical difficulties.
Extensive use of the higher positions on the fingerboard has
generally been avoided. On the other hand, 'Sailing' and 'Tripod',
musically both very simple, are played entirely in the fourth
and fifth positions respectively and are intended to assist
the student in learning the notes on the higher frets. Though
these pieces are embraced by the title 'Impressions' the performer
may change their order or even omit some of them to suit his
or her taste. The composer himself has recorded the first eight
pieces in the present order. The ninth piece was subsequently
added for this edition.

Nighttime
|
The
hustle and bustle of the day is over.
On this warm summer night we sit on the verandah to the chirping
of cicadas.
|
|
Snowdrifts
|
Snowdrifts
in the moonlight,
As far as the eye can see, cold and bare,
Forever shifting and changing in the ceaseless wind. |
|
Water-lilies
|
Bright
yellow water-lilies sitting alert on the shiny surface of dark motionless
water. |
|
City
|
Even
in the noisy city there is silence.
On the periphery you may hear the honking of a horn. |
|
Evening
with You
|
In
your presence the candles shine clearer and brighter. |

On
a sunny day we walk through the fields,
In
the distance hills, blue sky patched with snowy clouds.
The
day passes...
We
rest by a stream with its crystal-clear playfulness.
To this music we fall asleep,
And our wandering continues into our dreams.

Ten
Lyrical Pieces for Classical Guitar
were written around 1969. The RealAudio clips to the first six
pieces
were
from the original recording of Richard Miles Jackman's first public
recital, which he gave in October of 1970 in the Recital Hall
of the Pennsylvania State University. Early Spring
was taken from an LP recorded in 1970. We feel that the historical
value of these recordings outweighs the rather poor sound quality.
