In collaboration with numerous renowned artists, Acoustic Music Books is compiling Acoustic Guitar for Peace, a collection of songs for acoustic guitar to benefit Ukrainian refugees. Due to the horrifying events and the desire to show humanity and compassion, the musicians waive their royalties and the publisher waives its profit by donating at least 10 € of the sales price of each issue to the Bündnis Entwicklung Hilft.
Big names in the music industry compose for peace
To help people understand the refugee issue and show solidarity, the issue includes Ukrainian folk songs in fingerstyle arrangements, the Ukrainian national anthem for 1 and 2 guitars, character pieces and compositions from fingerstyle, jazz and classical music, and songs for peace and freedom. Because music has always been a proven and impressive medium to criticize violence and war. It is not without reason that numerous classics survive the test of time and find their way into the repertoire of all musicians. Fingerstyle experts like Ulli Bögershausen, Ian Melrose, concert guitarists like Tilman Hübner and Jens Wagner, singer/songwriters like Christina Lux and SONia or allrounders like Peter Autschbach and Volker Luft join this kind of help with heart and soul and created this great musical work with its clear message within a very short time.
Pieces for practiced musicians for numerous occasions
The pieces contain sheet music, tabs, chords, fingering charts for overview and lyrics, which allow advanced players of the acoustic guitar a great interpretation. The playing material is suitable for the stage, home use, and responsible instrumental instruction.
