The Most Sacred Queen Elizabeth, Her Galliard Many versions of this piece for guitar use the standard guitar scordatura. This version uses the lute scordatura (transposed) with the 3rd string in F sharp, thus giving a sonority more like the original. Perhaps harder to read but I think worth it. Grade 7 |
