Byrd Design Christina Davidson ! Cover Photo: Lary Matton Music transcription, copying & caligrapy Chriotina Davideon / Muclc Eating: Carotyn West Al artwork: Eva Cassidy / Photos: Hugh & Barbara Cassidy, family & fends aaa Introduction by Hugh Cassidy, Eva's father There are several Eva Cassidy songbooks on the market, but this one was created especially for guitar and voice. Each guitar arrangement: in this book has been transcribed from the Eva Cassidy CDs. Eva left us no musical notation or even sheet music ‘rom which she learned. In addition, we have added some of Eva's drawings to create a very personalized songbook. The guitar was Eva's constant companion from an early age. | firet taught her guitar chorde when she was barely nine years old. wae at that time working a9 a base player in order to supplement ‘the family income. | voce Once Eva perfected her guitar chords, she was anxious to play her favourite folk and jazz tunes. Eva probably epent a great deal more time in her room teaching herself guitar techniques than she spent on her homework. Eva spent: countless hours absorving the unique talents of artiste in her own eclectic record collection and then she worked out: her own arrangements in her head. Iithigh school, and later at community college, Eva sang and played with various groups including Stonehenge and Excallber. She aleo performed ae a soloist, einging her wonderful arrangements and accompanying herself on guitar. Eva would have liked the look of the hand-copied music — she was a very gifted artist ae well ae a musician, The illustrations in this book were all done by Eva and include marty of her whimsical sketches, caricatures and beautiful pictures. When we were approached initially about Eva songbooks, limmediately thought: that: there should be a book specifically designed for guitar players. We were fortunate in finding Christina Davidson and we were able to work closely with her in creating this book. Christina ie a music copyist and calligrapher with years of experience creating music for various publications. She also turned out: to be a big fan of Eva's work. Thie guitar songbook ie a testament to Christina Davideor’e talente and also her appreciation for Eva's style and arrangements, The guitar arrangements are very simple and playable, Eva used basic first-position chords and Chrietina has provided inetruction as to where the capo should be placed in order to play each song, in key, along with Eva on her CDs. Eva loved suspensions and employed a finger-picking style which is very pleasing, You will experience her simple, yet effective arpeggios and folk patterns when you work with the tablature portion of each gong. Make eure that you read the gloseary at the end of the book for an explanation of the tablature and other notes from Christina. The selection of songs was carefully considered. . Of course, we wanted to include Over the Rainbow as first: heard on “The Other Side” and released in 1992. This now famous arrangement: by Eva ie also on the later CD entitled “Songbird.” Fields of Gold was recorded in 1996 on Eva's firet solo record entitled “Live at Blues Alley.” It was also later released on “Bongbird.” Eva's version of this song is the one of the most requested tunes for compilation albums, ama” AHMAD JAMAL NEW YEAR'S EVE CELEBRATION. srg Ae EVA CASSIDY Eva grew up in the 60s and 705. Asa youngster, her mother and | were playing LP's by Pete Seeger, Buffy St. Marie and Ray Charles, just to name a few. Iwas working with Eva and her brother Dan and sisters Anette and Margaret to create a family group to perform at holiday ana family functions. During this period of time, Eva gained appreciation and love for spirituale and folk melodies euch a6 Wade in the Water, Do Lord (retitled Way Beyond the Blue) and Wayfaring Stranger. At the time Eva's illness was diagnosed, she was planning a solo tour of Eastem Canada, Iceland and Europe and | know that. her repertoire included these selectione. ‘The Cassidy family record collection aleo included LPs ry Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin. Many people have remarked at Eva's wide-ranging selection of material, but | know ‘exactly which artiste and which LPs piqued her interest, From this genre of music, we include: What a Wonderful World, Autumn Leaves and At Last. Eva had an attraction to several tunes written by Chrietine McVie. Songbird, the tune, is included in this book and the arrangement: is absolutely true to Eva's recording of it. | personally like the tenderness and message of Steve Digman’e Anniversary Song. Steve hired Eva to do a demonstration recording of his original material, and we were most delighted, after Eva's passing, when we heard that thie tune would be made available for Eva's CD entitled “Time After Time.” Ihave always felt that: the simplicity of guitar and voice i6 one of God's many gifts. Whether one plays guitar at home, alone, for the sheer joy of making music -- or whether you join with others around a campfire or at family gatherings, it’s food for the zoul. | hope that this book of Eva's special material will become dog-eared over the years, a9 you too enjay the wondrous experience of "making music.” Beet regarde, Hugh Cassidy The Eva Cassidy SONGBOOK for GUITAR Ain't No Sunshine 17 Anniversary Song 14 At Last 10 Autumn Leaves 6 Fields of Gold 36 | Wandered by a Brookside 21 Nightbird 40 Over the Rainbow 27 Penny to My Name 44 Say Goodbye 48 Songbird 5i Time After Time 55 Wade in the Water 63 Way Beyond the Blue 66 Wayfaring Stranger 33 What a Wonderful World 59 All artwork is by Eva Cassidy Photos are from the Cassidy Family & friends Music & verses are hand-lettered by Chrietina Davideon Published 2002 © nterational Music Publications Ls Gifs House 161 Hammeromitn Road London W8 BD Eneart Repraducing ho mic ary for ileal and frida by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Ac, 1268 Autumn Leaves 25 oung by Eva Cassidy The falling leaves drift: by my window, the falling leaves of red and gold. | see your lips, the summer kisses, the eunburried hands | used to hold.
