Simon Gorlier Third Book of Tablature For Low G Ukulele

These compositions were transcribed for Low G ukulele from a facsimile copy of Simon Gorlier's third book of tablature for the guitar. Simon Gorlier was a musician, composer, and an active bookseller and printer at Lyon in the second quarter of the 16th century. It is believed that he was born in Lyon but we have no dates for this. We know, however, that he was active in Paris between 1550 and 1584. The Troysième book, which is transcribed for you here, containing duets, and trios, with the battle of Janequin in tablature for guitar by Simon Gorlier, was published in Paris, France in 1551 by Robert Granlon and Michel Fezandant..

This volume is the third in a series of six books of guitar tablature published between 1551 and 1555 by Guillaume Morlaye and Simon Gorlier, only the first four of which have survived.
