Arrival of The Queen of Sheba on Mandolin
26th September 2009
From the Oratorio Solomon (HWV 67 - 1748) by George Frideric Handel. The British mandolinist Simon Mayor gave me the inspiration to do my version of this piece. The viola parts don't have a note lower than a mandolin's lower G, so I played the viola parts (doubled up) on mandolin. But listening back, I think it would have sounded better (or provided more "sonic interest") if played on guitar (or mandola if I had one).
