Notes
Renaissance Era. 40 Measures. 5 Pages. Time Signature 2/2. Key of A.
This classical guitar song was originally written for the Lute. Composed in the Renaissance, before the invention of the guitar, this piece is very popular among the guitar standard repertoire. It is full of energy and it was a true breakthrough and innovation of its time for its contemporary (for the time) sounding middle section.
