Sarabande in E Minor by Visée (PDF)

Sarabande in E Minor by Robert de Visée (1655-1733) - From Livre de pièces pour la guitare (Paris, 1686), Suite in E Minor. Originally for Baroque guitar. PDF sheet music arranged for classical guitar. Comes with both a notation edition with left hand fingering and a separate tab edition. Later-Intermediate (Approximately Grade 6). This is a PDF download.

Robert de Visée (c. 1655 – 1732/1733) was a lutenist, guitarist, theorbist and viol player at the court of the French kings Louis XIV and Louis XV, as well as a singer and composer for lute, theorbo and guitar. 

In this lesson I mainly discuss the interpretation of Baroque guitar music on the modern classical guitar and do a walk through of the piece. Here’s the Youtube Lesson Link if you want to watch it there. I also have another movement from the suite if you want to pair them together: Visee: Passacaille in E Minor.
