Postcards From Spain (To Michael Lorimer) - Thea Musgrave (born 1928) V. Windmills (The Windmills of La Mancha) (Consuegra) Five Serenades for solo guitar (2nd edition, Lorimer, Novello 120809, 1997) MIDI: http://www.classtab.org/musgrave_postcards_from_spain_5_windmills.mid see Notes and Legend below the tab - tabbed by weed@wussu.com - 3 May 2018 "Here in the bone dry tableland of La Mancha, behind the town of Consuegra, the centre of the production of saffron, perched like sentinels on the crest of a dramatic, stony hill are ten shimmering windmills. In the hurried, breathless, non-stop figurations of this moto perpetuo, we can imagine the windmills spinning and transforming themselves in the mind of Don Quixote into enormoous giants against which he tilted with his rusted lance." - Michael Lorimer (editor) tuning: EADGBE key: - time: 3/8, 2/8 tempo: 132 bpm (eighth notes) Moto Perpetuo (sequences of rapid notes that continue without a break)

will find it impossible to sustain every note for its written value. Neverthless, it is always possible to communicate the composer's intention, and therefore the score is presented in this edition as Thea Musgrave wrote it, and as she hopes the listener will imagine it, rather than as a precise depiction of the literal sound that one performer might produce. The ears of the listener, rather then the fingers of the performer, guide the fingering. Whilst this fingering is a model that pleases the composer and the editor, the score is presented as the composer conceived it, and other fingerings are possible." - Michael Lorimer (editor) Suggested duration: 2 min The tab stays as close to the sheet fingering as possible, but some notes shown as held in the sheet are cut off by other notes played on the same string. measures 87,88,90 - the 3 chords at the end of measures 87 and 88 are grace notes (ornaments) which lead to the chord at the start of the following measure; similarly with the 4 notes at the end of measure 90 which lead to the note in measure 91 left hand fingering below tab right hand fingering above tab 1 - index finger p - thumb 2 - middle finger i - index finger 3 - ring finger m - middle finger 4 - little finger a - ring finger === - note held, length of note, duration |-3-| - triplet - 3 notes in the time of 2 notes > - (above the tab) accented, stressed - - tenuto - note held for at least its full length, slightly stressed ^ - strum upwards (from the lowest note to the highest note) v - strum downwards (from the highest note to the lowest note) / - slide note up \ - slide note down g - grace note(s) h - (between the notes) hammer-on p - (between the notes) pull-off < < < - (below the tab) crescendo - growing louder cresc. - crescendo - growing louder dim. - diminishing, gradually getting softer f - forte - loud ff - fortissimo - very loud mf - mezzoforte - moderately loud mp - mezzopiano - moderately soft p - (below the tab) piano - soft sfz - sforzando - strongly accented, suddenly louder cII - part barre on the 2nd fret CIII - barre on the 3rd fret cIV - part barre on the 4th fret ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ more classical tabs at http://www.classtab.org
