Gypsy Dance
By Marcus Roberts
Regular price
$25.00
For guitar and violin, c.3'30
Imagine a caravan of Gypsys travelling across the countryside with a couple “jamming” out this tune around a fire, playing robustly and with passion. This piece is fun to play and has a Gypsy Jazz feel at times. Some of the unison runs are tricky but work well together, further adding to the Gypsy Jazz vibe.

Quarantine
By Marcus Roberts
Regular price
$25.00
Three movements for solo classical guitar. Grade L.Mus (Advanced)
The main inspiration relates to a sense of longing. A longing for those things that were taken for granted, but were so quickly taken away, the effects this had on myself, my friends, family and those around me.
The three pieces are constructed around a handful of similar chord progressions including thematic fragments.

Reggae Suite, The
By Marcus Roberts
Regular price
$65.00
Three movements or guitar quartet.
- I. Small up Jammin
- II. Stranger Blue
- III. Time Tripping
The Reggae Suite is inspired by a variety of musical elements found in Reggae music. Groovy bass lines, swing, straight feel combinations and of the course bangs or “The Skank”. This is probably the most recognisable element of reggae music, which emphasises beats 2 and 4.

Remembering Dream Machine, The
By Marcus Roberts
Regular price
$20.00
For solo classical guitar., c.8'20. Grade A.Mus.A (Advanced)
This is a fantasy styled piece. I have a soft spot for early music and in particular the works of John Dowland and J.S Bach. Many years ago I studied the lute and much of Dowland’s works. I have always enjoyed the rich harmonic textures of early music. This piece could be compared to those older fantasia styled pieces but with more of a modern twist.

Viking Dance (guitar quartet)
By Marcus Roberts
Regular price
$30.00
Quartet for guitar, c. 4'00. Advance grade
The piece uses two modes to capture the “old world”[Viking] feel and alternates between D Mixolydian and A Dorian. The imagery that comes to mind is that of a league of Vikings emerging in the distance, rising from below a hill complete with drums being hit for war, horses, swords in hand, handheld flags on masts as the fearsome warriors emerge and a scene of dancing around a massive bonfire celebrating their victory and ultimate rise to Valhalla. It is a warrior dance, without fear and to be played tenaciously!
All versions of Viking Dance can be played separately or as an ensemble.
