At the first glance, the melpomene suite is not very well suited for solo playing with re-entrant ukulele tuning. Surprisingly some of the pieces sound quite interesting with the ukulele nonetheless, despite the many overlapping voices in the ukulele arrangement.

Besser late than never: I was able to upload three more Christmas music videos just in time for Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas!  

Originally a hymn by Johann Franck and Johann Crüger. I used the setting by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 227, chorale) for my arrangement for solo ukulele. Played with my Brüko No. 6 soprano ukulele. Merry Christmas!

A more than 400 years old hymn by Philipp Nicolai.

I simply wanted to play some uplifting music… What diminishes my joy a little bit is that I promptly received a copyright claim via content ID by Youtube. Which is of course ridiculous, since this melody was already used by Ludwig van Beethoven in his 9th symphony. I really have to rant a bit here……

It doesn’t always have to be a sophisticated arrangement… Gaudete is a wellknown Christmas carol from the 16. century.

A more than 400 years old German Christmas carol by Daniel Rumpius, played on my Brüko No. 6 soprano ukulele.

I recorded this video last summer with Zacquine. We decided now to publish it. I think ukulele and zither can work amazingly well together!
