Keys covered are C/Am, G/Em, D/Bm, A/F#m, E/C#m, F/Dm, Bb/Gm.

22 original compositions for solo classical or fingerstyle guitar. All titles composed by Roger Hudson between the years 1988-1999. This collection represents the earliest efforts to put my musical ideas for solo guitar on the written page. Many of the pieces in this collection are in older popular styles (blues, rags, etc.). Some pieces in this book are definitely heavier than others. It certainly is not a collection of easy pieces. I have always composed what I enjoy composing and have never given too much thought to difficulty or whether or not a piece is deemed "concert-worthy". My compositional pendulum freely swings from the simple to traditional to more esoteric without much concern. Whether at casual or formal performances, many of my original pieces were, and still are, regularly intermingled with standard repertoire. As far as categorization, I will leave it up to those who sense the duty to determine what could be considered "classical" as opposed to "fingerstyle". In 1994, About half of the pieces featured here were included in my first album release called Guitarchitecture. In The Guitar Foundation of America's journal Soundboard, classical/microtonal guitarist John Schneider reviewed the CD and spoke of "many gorgeous moments". So, at least in that case, the academic leaning classical guitar world seemed to like my music. Experience has shown that my compositions are also liked by a cadre of fingerstyle guitarists. Because of this I am offering separate versions of this collection in tablature as well as standard notation - in an attempt to please everyone!

George Lyttelton - a former master at Eton - once complained at a dinner at which Rupert Hart-Davis - former Eton pupil, publisher and man of letters - was present, that he was bored and that no one ever wrote to him. This is a paperback collection of the celebrated correspondence that ensued. Rupert Hart-Davis reports from the front line of the London literary battlefield, when not pursuing Wildean minutiae for his famous edition of Oscar's letters, while George fulminates from his summerhouse on "this age of jaw" and "how it darkens counsel". That "thrawn old dyspeptic" Carlyle is praised as much as the pernicious and joyless influence of F.R. Leavis is condemend. Equally, broad beans, fried sole and the right sort of cold ham are listed as foods never to be turned down.

In Ancient Athens in 461BC, aristocratic General Kimon has driven back the might of the Persian Empire and forged a new empire for Athens, making his city the commercial centre of the Eastern Mediterranean. Now he is struggling for his political existence against the radical democratic reforms of the demagogue Ephialtes and his ambitious supporter Perikles. Into this political turmoil steps Lysanias, just 18, just reached manhood, and an innocent amidst the deceit and corruption of the big city. Recalled from an Athenian colony by a mysterious message from his wealthy uncle Klereides, he discovers that his uncle has died in suspicious circumstances, that he is the heir, and that his obligations nowinclude marrying his uncle’s teenage widow. Convinced that his uncle was murdered and driven by the ancient duty of vengeance, Lysanias sets out to discover the truth, aided by his elderly slave Sindron. Their investigations take them deep into the murky interlocking worlds of Athenian politics,business, finance, religion and even art, where it seems Klereides had many enemies and where even his friends cannot be trusted. With his own loyalties torn between the rival political factions, aristocrats and workers, due to his early training as an artisan, Lysanias himself faces violent death before he and Sindron discover the culprit and Ephialtes’ assassin.
