Dear Mandolin and Flute Players and Opera Singers!
HOW TO PLAY AND SING WITH AN "ACCOMPANIST" ON MP3-FILES?
Here is something for those who like to play mandolin or flute pieces with an accompanist! Music by Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven among others, for mandolin / flute and harpsichord or organ.
We have a super strong passion for live music and concerts. Our passion lies in playing, collaborating with other musicians, organizing concerts and festivals and we love chamber music. We also love to inspire people to play chamber music, do marketing and arrange concerts with the mandolin, flute involved.
SOMETHING FOR YOU, TOO
Therefore, Lars Forslund have developed a fantastic system to be able to play music at a high level, when our harpsichordists, pianists and chamber musicians are not available. It is also a super effective way to prepare and study the music before the first rehearsal begin with, for example, a harpsichordist. Then you already master your part of the music in detail at the first rehearsal and so you do not tire out a professional or talented accompanist with too many interruptions and retakes.
NICE ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE
Therefore, we want to share, completely free of charge, our nice arrangements for harpsichord and mandolin / flute to you who like our website and our videos on YouTube, and to you who love to play sonatas and chamber music with an accompanist. As soloists, we play more than 50 concerts annually and some of these concerts, we perform with the cembalino d'amore (harpsichord) or the organetto, or both instruments.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Here on the website you can read about how the software and the concept works. See more on the video about the cembalino & organetto project below. Because we love baroque music, we have made harpsichord and organ parts for various mandolin sonatas and trio sonatas for flute, mandolin and basso continuo. If you start an mp3-file with "play along" function, here on the website, it takes about 10-15 seconds before the harpsichord or organ starts playing, so you have time to settle yourself down, and then the harpsichord or organ plays a small introduction at half a bar or sometimes 1-2 beats. The harpsichord or organ always starts first, so you have time to count the beat. In the software we have put rubaton, ritardandon and tempo changes so it becomes a living accompaniment. For example, a repeat can be a little more intense and increase the tempo a little bit, just as it often is at a live concert when the musicians get a little bit more excited.
USE YOUR MOBILE PHONE, MP3-PLAYER, TABLET OR COMPUTER
So you should connect your mobile phone, mp3-player, tablet or computer to a pair of good speakers or headphones and then just play the music directly from this website or our YouTube channel. With speakers, you can also play for your family and friends or at weddings, parties, concerts in churches, castles, museums and libraries, and more. Let your imagination run wild about how you can use the mp3-files. Of course, you can also record the music and post your own recording on YouTube. You can use and download the files for free and you don't have to pay for copyright. The files are free. However, if you use the files for commercial use, it is necessary that you or the concert organizer report the performance to STIM in Stockholm, Sweden or GEMA in Germany or equivalent in your country.
EASIER TO UNDERSTAND
We recommend you to watch the YouTube videos about "Play along", than it's easier to understand the concept. When you play along on our YouTube channel, you will find the sheet-music in the video. For the mp3-files and the sheet-music, you can print, download or use it directely here on our website. For some of the music by Beethoven and Mozart you should use your own sheet-music or download from IMSLP. You can also see below how we use the mp3-files for 9 different concert programs for mandolin and cembalino d'amore (harpsichord). It's also nice when we get a response in the form of a standing ovation from an enthusiastic audience, which happens quite often, even though we are playing on a virtual harpsichord. People are very impressed when modern technology meets 300 years old music from the Baroque era.
Good luck with your music making.
Best wishes!

A fantastic and authentic Baroque sound
OLD MEETS NEW
The concept of sound & design, is based on the Baroque sound, and design ideal, in the encounter with the absolute latest, of our time, in digital technology. A happy meeting. It is fascinating when two eras meet, and the result is exceptionally good.
DESIGN FROM THE 1720S AND TECHNOLOGY FROM 2020
Here, 300 years have passed between the innovations, and today these ideals fit like a glove.
THE NEW FANTASTIC TECHNOLOGY IN THE SERVICE OF THE BAROQUE MUSIC ERA
The new mini amplifier Yamaha THR 5 A for acoustic plucked string instruments, together with the software programs: MuseScore, Reaper, Kontakt and the sampling program Berlin-Harpsichord, and the wireless microphone plugs from Boss, means that new and old can be combined at the absolute highest level with a sound result beyond the ordinary. The baroque music sounds fantastic and varied with exuberant resonant sounds from the 18th century.

Sonata in G major for mandolin and cembalino (harpsichord)
Camerata Mandolino Classico
In the concert program "Music for the soul", a “cembalino d'amore” a small harpsichord with resonant strings, with a typical French, Baroque painting, in gold, red and black, meets a master mandolin, built by the skilled Italian, mandolin builder, Maestro Pandini from Ferrara, Italy. Wonderful sounds, and vibrating resonant strings.
Baroque & present
This is also, where a new Yamaha THR 5 A, a tiny amplifier, specially built for acoustic guitars, and the sampling program, Berlin – Harpsichord, from the German technology and computer company, Orchestral Tools, meet. The role models in design, and sound, for both Lars Forslund, and the technicians, at Orchestral Tools, have been French and Italian harpsichords, from the 18th century.
