Alonso Mudarra: Pavana de Alexandre

Another (shorter) piece from Mudarra, arranged for low-G ukulele, derived from an arrangement for guitar by an anonymous setter here.  About half of the piece can be played in second position with whole or partial barrĂ©s. It is just about possible to sustain the longer notes whilst playing the runs, and I have indicated the fingerings that I find most comfortable – you may prefer your own.

The pavane was a slow, stately, processional dance; this means one can take ones time playing it.

Here are the links to versions in these formats: pdf (preview), pdf auto download, TablEdit and MIDI.

Have fun!
