One of my favourite carol tunes. Personent Hodie was first published in 1582, in the Finnish collection of songs, Piae Cantiones, along with Good King Wenceslas and Unto Us a Child is Born (well, those are the words we put to the tunes these days).
This arrangement is a simple one - it's about Trinity Initial Grade level.

Two pieces for classical guitar. I was going to call them studies but that sounds more boring. The first (all about spreading easy chords with the thumb) has a jazz feel, the second is lively and dramatic.
The first is about Grade 2 (Trinity), the second is harder - and harder to define Grade-wise, I think.

Another movement arranged from a Haydn Baryton Trio - this time a Minuet. The middle part has been rewritten: it's been made very simple, using only G, A, B and C.
