Emile Grimshaw is alive and well!

It is now the 70th year since the death of  the UK composer and player

Emile Grimshaw.

I have not until now added Grimshaw scores to the MUSIC LIBRARY but today have finished editing and uploading a large number of his compositions and arrangements.

PLEASE USE THEM AND SUPPORT THIS SITE.

IT DEPENDS ON VISITORS  AND MEMBERS  TO CONTRIBUTE. 

AS THEY SAY,

"IF YOU DON'T USE IT.. YOU WILL LOSE IT"

 

Clifford Essex have re-published a few of the pieces with Tablature for the modern day banjoist.

PLEASE support their efforts to promote the Classic Style and purchase the music from them.

If anyone holds the copyright to any of the music please contact me with your proof of ownership.

Ian, I really like the Grimshaw´s exercises...well the four I am able to play, ha!, but I will give a try to some of the Grimshaw´s pieces in the future. I would like to learn the Chopin´nocturne which Grimshaw made an arrangement. I heard to Rob sometime ago and I liked it. Do you have it?.

[thereallyniceman]

Hi German,

I think that you will find Grimshaw's arrangement of Chopin's  "Nocturne" on the Clifford Essex Music website:

They do a great job with these scores so please consider buying it online. Their prices are good too!

 Yes! I know that it is for Plectrum, but Grimshaw's arrangements usually were suitable to play both fingerstyle and plectrum.

[German David Patarroyo]

Thanks Ian! I will purchase it and give it a try.

Wow!  What a resource this is.  I'm just starting on banjo, but I've been playing ToC guitar and mandolin for about 15 years now.  and I wish there were a similar resource for guitarists interested in this repertoire.  Thanks again, Ian.  I WILL use it!  -Chris.

Chop Suey, The Banshee and Banjo Blues are my top three :o)

Which are your favourites?

[German David Patarroyo]

Right now, Rose Leaves gavotte, Calliope rag, Russian rag :)
