Doc Rossi - Pasqualini Demarzi: Six Sonatas for Cetra or Kitara

Originally from Michigan, Doc Rossi has performed across North America and Europe and has recorded with various groups, playing Early Music, Hawaiian Slack-key guitar and Irish, Mexican and American traditional music. One of only a handful of players who specialize in the 18th-century cittern, his publications include The Complete Cittern, a tutor for 18th-century cittern (with transcriptions for guitar and other six-course instruments), the English translation of Andrea Damiani's Method for Renaissance Lute, and The Original Guitar Styles of Jerry Donahue. Also a scholar, Doc has prepared a modern edition of Thomas Robinson's New Citharen Lessons (1609), and published numerous articles dealing with guitar and cittern history, and with Shakespeare, Brecht, and the Beat Generation. In addition to being a soloist Doc also performs and records with The Bachelor Consort, Robert Amyot and Taro Takeuchi.
