La belle jarretière verte from A Chopped Up Tale (1987) by Canadian composer Doug Jamieson. Performed on classical guitar by Bradford Werner and recorded with the composer’s permission. This is a charming little work which you can read more about below. As a special gift, Doug was kind enough to provide us with free sheet music for this work:
Jamieson is currently based out of Nelson, BC, Canada (my hometown) which is just a short distance from me in Trail. As the composer states: “In 1987, I wrote a suite for a puppet theatre company in Toronto called the Crankee Consort. It was created and directed by Larry Lewis and Jane Low-Beer. My suite used numerous fiddle tunes and Canadian folk songs as a resource. The instrumentation was classical guitar, violin, accordion and double bass.” See and hear more info about A Chopped Up Tale
