Mandolin Instrumentals

When I began practicing the mandolin more seriously, I did not feel satisfied by playing single note melodies. I arranged a lot of pieces which I knew from my guitar playing over decades, just for my own use on the mandolin. My goal was to combine melodies with chords in the way guitar players do. In my book you will find the result of my work, spanning from Renaissance to Barock, from Ireland and Italy to the Alps. An extra section with more difficult pieces will satisfy the advanced player.

Mordy Ferber - Compositions

This book is an attempt to capture the highlights of twenty-eight years of composing. Each of these 32 compositions is an expression, and as such -- an exposure, of a genuine part of myself which I present within the framework of jazz; my beloved art form. When I listen to this music I hear shades of my early classical and rock influences. It also brings to my mind my birth place, a small neighborhood outside of Haifa, Israel. I really hope that you will listen to these pieces come alive on my CDs "All The Way To Sendai".

Contemporary Pieces for Classical Guitar

I have taught classical guitar at the Conservatory of Oulu since 1972. The pieces in this book were composed during my working years in Finland and over holidays in Andalusia Spain. Originally these pieces were extra material for my pupils. Later I noticed, to my delight, that they had been performed in many concerts all over the country! Through these small pieces, I hoped to increase the motivation of my students and I think it has been a successful venture. I hope these pieces will bring joy and will benefit all players and listeners.
