About the Music
The Sad Stories for ukulele are intermediate level pieces. They are the latest of my collections of short works for the developing classical ukulele player. In music, the minor modes (aeolian, dorian, melodic minor, etc.) are often used to depict a sad mood. In this collection, these darker tones are explored in each of 7 minor modes: C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. Therefore, they offer the player a chance to practice several different key signatures, and thus different fingerings and chord positions. Each Story is expressive and intimate, evoking melancholy and, at times, brighter moments too.
