Renaissance Music for Flute & Guitar by Allan Alexander and Jessica Walsh.  Allan & Jessica have compiled a tremendous collection of Renaissance and medieval duos for the flute and guitar.  If you love playing independent, interesting parts and if you like communicating with your musical partner, this is the book for you.  This music captures the feeling of the Medieval and Renaissance times.  It comes alive when you play it.  During the Renaissance, it was the performers who wrote the music.  Often they added variations; they were excited about the melodies.  Allan & Jessica bring some of this approach to the music in this book.  Good music need not be difficult to play.  When doing arrangements, they make sure that the pieces lay well on the instruments.  A few of the pieces in this book are composed by Allan & Jessica, because they also love to write and this is truly in the spirit of the Renaissance.  There are almost seventy minutes of music on the CD and 29 pieces in the book.  This book is perfect to take on gigs, or just to play with a friend.  The point is, the music is great.  You have to play the tunes in this book to appreciate what Allan & Jessica are talking about.
