A collection of videos documenting my work on Classical & Steel-String guitar and mandolin. Folk music, Bluegrass, Medieval/Renaissance/Classical music are all featured here. There are solo and group performances both live and in the studio. Many of these videos were made with the Acapella app. Many were made just sitting in my living room or practice studio. There are also instruction videos by myself and others. For more in depth instruction, go to www.hungrymonkmusiconline.com

Fantasia 31
Просмотров 392 месяца назад
This is a piece for solo lute by the great Italian Renaissance composer Francesco da Milano. Most lute music of the Renaissance was based on a song or a dance form. Da Milano's Fantasia's were some of the first compositions that were not based on these forms and instead pursued purely musical ideas. This piece had a very clear 2 part counterpoint so I pulled the two parts apart and turned it in...

Nouvi Orizzonti

I have a whole bunch of these Italian tunes that were printed in the 1920's. They are scored for various combinations of mandolins, mandolas, and guitars. This one is for 2 mandolins and guitar. While these are not major compositions, they are very tuneful and I love the instrumentation. This one is called "Nouvi Orizzonti" by Attilio Fiorone.

One of Bach's best known melodies is really just part of a contrapuntal texture found in one of his Cantata's (1723 Advent Cantata "Herz und Mind und Tat und Leben). This arrangement is more or less the actual 4 part setting from the Cantata.
Kemp's Jig
Просмотров 755 месяцев назад
Kemp's Jig is not a jig at all. A very famous Renaissance melody found in every imaginable setting. This is a mash up of two different versions I recorded. The first part is mostly a solo mandolin version with some accompaniment. The second version is more of an ensemble idea. The transition from one to the other is pretty sloppy, but I'm only working with iMovie and did not originally intend t...

Bartok Duets for 2 Violins 6 thru 10
Просмотров 286 месяцев назад
Bela Bartok was a giant of the 20th century and wrote some of the most amazing and complicated music of that century. He was also an ethnomusicologist who traveled around his native Hungary and elsewhere collecting folk songs. His 44 Duets for 2 Violins is one way he used these melodies. Fairly simple melodies set to sometimes striking harmonies with tricky rhythms made these excellent student ...

By Llama is my "virtual" band. All these recordings were done with Garage Band on my Apple computer. Lots of looping. Lots of generic Garage Band loops. But also a lot of actual instruments being recorded. Mostly guitars, but also bass, percussion, and even some piano. This track has a bunch of Garage Band generated loops with live guitar on top.
Why so little views? Thats beautiful, guys!!!
Enjoyed listening, nicely played thanks for sharing
So talented 🎵🎶 are you having fun in Italy??
Very nice. What kind of pickup is that on your mandolin? I am still having issues getting an “acoustic” sound when I try to use a pick up.
😊
Nicely played, gotta say I was surprised! First time seeing any of your videos, will have to check out some more. Great drive and the variations were fun too.
lovely phrasing :))
Great job
Hi, I’m interested in modern guitar music… Have just discovered this composer, Pierre Mercoeur, for the guitar : ruclips.net/video/9_k0hTKf2p8/видео.html You might find his music interesting too. Yours. Serge

Very nice my brother! One of my favs.
Beautiful! Love this tune so much, I chose it for my wedding march.
It's a lovely melody, well played!
This an excellent example of this challenging tune. Very helpful to me! Thank you!
Deus Vult. Will be listening to this on my upcoming Camino, thanks for posting and may God bless you
Thanks John, for being part of such an atmospheric piece of art and sharing it with us. Great work! Will definitely play this through my Camino.
Excellent performance! I enjoyed the Music and masterful Performance! Bravo! Thank you very much!
Outstanding performance of this difficult, but wonderful cycle, which is as popular nowadays as it was in 1980s, when it was composed. The guitarist John Holenko masterfully conveyed all ideas and concepts of the composer , bravo!🙌👏 💐
Beautiful. I know the choral version but hadn’t heard a guitar arrangement before. Do you know where I could find sheet music for the guitar arrangement?
It’s published by Boosey & Hawkes, though where one goes to find printed music these days is a bit of a mystery to me.
I have been waiting for several weeks for the sheet music from B&H, I think it’s out of print. If you have a copy I’m happy to pay for a scan
Good Luck ! - Jan Freidlin
Wow! Thanks for commenting. I really enjoy these pieces. I recorded these many years ago. I performed them around the Charleston area for a few years.
A beautiful instrument, and very well played! I want an OM, but perhaps I should get a regular one first. Thanks for the video
This is awesome!!!!
That is great! Thank you.
Excellent. Thank you.
