Carlo Aonzo Clara Ponzoni Giorgio Borsani : Northern Italian Ticino Region Folk Songs Mandolin (Mel Bay Presents) before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Northern Italian Ticino Region Folk Songs Mandolin (Mel Bay Presents):

24 of 24 people found the following review helpful. definitely one of Mel-Bay's better outingsBy CaraculiambroIt's hard to know what to say about Mel-Bay: sometimes they come out with pure junk (e.g., Mel Bay Fun with the Mandolin), other times it's pure gold.This one is one of the "gold" items: it's an anthology of authentic mandolin tunes from northern Italy, arranged in order of difficulty (not alphabetically). You've got the melody line and the TAB beneath that, complete with the names of accompanying chords. The melody line is not simply cheat-sheet style (one note): there are doublestops, triplestops, etc.And while it is mandolin-literate, it is not oppressively so: there aren't many hammer-ons, pull-offs, etc., called for, just a lot of tremoloing.For some reason I can't figure (pretentiousness?), all of the English introductions in the book are translated into Italian on the facing page, although the text isn't very useful. I have never seen this for sale anywhere in any music shop in Italy.One complaint I have -- and the reason I give it four stars -- is the CD that comes with it. The CD sounds nice, but that's hardly what you're interested in. You want a CD where the melody is on one track and the accompaniment on the other, so that you can listen carefully to what's on the page, and then, when you play it yourself, turn that down and have the accompaniment only playing with you. No such luck: both L and R feature the full melody and accompaniment (mixed guitar and mandolin), so they cannot be separated for learning purposes.The pieces are of intermediate level, slightly less difficult than those appearing in Mel Bay presents Traditional Southern Italian Mandolin and Fiddle. Incidentally, the Italian mandolin songs in THIS book (the "Northern" book) are much more joyous and upbeat than the spare and almost brutal melodies you get in the "Southern" book. In other words, the "Northern" book contains the kinds of pieces you think of when you think of Italian mandolin melodies (Godfather weddings, tarantellas, etc.)2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. OUTSTANDING BOOK!By sprintIf you've ever listened to Carlo Aonzo play and had the urge to immerse yourself in traditional Italian mandolin songs, this is the perfect book for you! It has 16 tunes -with an emphasis on those originating from a region on the border of Switzerland and Italy (Ticino)-that are written in both standard notation and tab. The CD is great and would be a joy to listen to on its own even if it were not part of an instructional music book. Surprisingly, Carlo only plays on 2 of the tracks: "Tra veglia e sonno" and "Ninna nanna." The latter is especially poignant b/c it is a tune that his father used to play his children as a lullaby. Other than , I have never heard of the other musicians who play the remaining tunes, but they do a great job: Clara Ponzoni, Giorgio Borsani, Manuela Maffi Steger, Gianluigi Fasola, Joe Gregori, and Claudio Savi (mandolin/guitar players).I wish there were more books like this - as far as I can tell, there are none. The authors have selected an eclectic mix of traditional/familiar/not so familiar works which capture the essence of what we recognize as the Italian tradition and provide informative summaries re: the background/history of each one. Most of the composers are new to me-- I wish more of Carlo Munier's works had been included. Sadly, it is extremely difficult to find recordings or songbooks with Munier's works in the USA. The layout is excellent and there are a few vintage photos of early players displaying their instruments (including a harp guitar!). Cosi Bella!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Inspiring Music for the Mandolin.By Brenda TaulbeeWonderful book....rather complex and challenging pieces from very talented musicians.

Ticino is a small area at the southernmost tip of Switzerland on the border with Italy. The Ticino region was actually part of Italy until a few centuries ago. The mandolin arrived in Ticino through immigrants and their music, and put down important cultural roots there. The mandolin style in Ticino is a link to the old Italian tradition, which has been largely lost in Italy and throughout other parts of the world. This book is a collection of some of the most famous pieces from this vast historical repertoire. The collection includes lots of popular folk songs, virtuosic pieces by original mandolin composers, as well as an original Aonzo composition. The book is presented in English and in Italian while the music is in standard notation and mandolin tablature.

About the AuthorCarlo Aonzo, a native of Savona, Italy came from a musical family. His initial mandolin teacher was his father. Carlo went on to study with Ugo Orlandi, the current patriarch of the Italian mandolin camp, at the Cesare Pollini Conservatory of Padua. His playing has been recognized with awards at prestigious competitions including the Vivaldi prize of the 6th annual Vittorio Pitzianti National Mandolin Competition in Venice as well as the 27th annual Walnut Valley National Mandolin Contest in Winfield, Kansas. Aonzo created and directed the winter Festival Internazionale di Mandolino in Varazze, Italy. He is an active scholar of historic mandolinists and mandolin repertoire and has contributed to The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. He is a regular faculty member at the mandolin-oriented Kaufman Kamp in Tennessee and teaches popular annual workshops in New York City. In 2006, Carlo founded the International Academy of Italian Mandolin, an annual workshop dedicated to promoting the art of Italian classical mandolin playing. Carlo has toured throughout Europe, Italy, Japan and the USA as a soloist or with chamber ensembles and orchestras. He has worked with respected musical institutions including La Scala Philharmonic, Milan. As director of the Orchestra a Pizzico Ligure, he has been called to play in the presence of Pope John Paul II. His recent collaborations with guitarists Rene Izquierdo in the US and Katsumi Kagaoka in Europe have resulted in successful concert tours and an exciting new CD. Carlo s recorded output reflects his scholarship and passion to both champion the mandolin s forgotten past and to develop its classical tradition into the future. He has recorded Paganini s complete works for mandolin on period mandolino Genovese (Integrale per Amandorlino Chitarra Francese, Arion). His recordings have also featured the works of early 20th century Italian virtuosi with guitarist Beppe Gambetta (Serenata, Acoustic Music Records) and Italian immigrants to America with Gambetta and mandolinist (, Acoustic Disc). For Mel Bay, he has recorded an in-studio video concert of solo mandolin repertoire (Carlo Aonzo: Classical Mandolin Virtuoso) and was featured in Mandolin 2000. His Orchestra a Pizzico Ligure's recording of arrangements of Vivaldi concerti is a rare demonstration of the rich sonority of a modern, active mandolin orchestra. His exciting new CD Kaze with guitarist Katsumi Nagaoka both offers a respectful nod to historic repertoire and premiers lively, sophisticated new composition
