Harmonious Blacksmith Theme

[Timothy Lawler]

Composed by G.F. Handel, transcribed by Frederick Noad. Music in the first part, practice tips in the second.

Brings back 40 year old memories when I first played that. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice playing! The piece reminded me "Promenade" from "Pictures at the Exhibition" just a little bit (I'm not sure if I ever heard it before). Great idea with practice tips, I think this would be really useful for learners.

Hi Rick. That's close to the time Noad's Solo Guitar Playing was first published, I believe, though I suppose you might also have known it from Giuliani's theme and variations.

Thanks very much Daria! I found doing the voice-over for the practice tips to be challenging. I wonder if anyone likes the sound of their own voice.

I actually enjoyed your voice-over. You have very pleasant and calm voice and speak without pauses and "emm"s So I think it's great.

P.S. It just strucked me that this is the theme Giuliani used for his variations, it sounded so familiar, I just couldn't remember from where I know it...Overlooked that fact in your video, it seems (only look at hands .

Thanks, Daria.
