"Bourrée"
Johann Sebastian Bach composed this piece as part of a suite for lute. It has since become one of the most popular works in the classical guitar repertoire. It is in the key of E minor which is the same as the key of G major. Bourrée uses only two voices—a melody and a bass line—often times moving in opposite directions. Occasionally a non-standard fingering is required and those fingerings are notated with the small numbers above or beside certain notes. Performance tempo should be 98 bpm. Arrangement by Steve Krenz.
