His worksare tuneful and memorable, with fiery cross-rhythms and cascading scale passages. He published three books of guitar music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe baroque guitar could be viewed as a close relative of the ukulele. Indeed, the two instruments have much in common. The smaller four-course guitar actually had the same tuning as the ukulele, for example, although it was largely double-strung. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sanz enjoyed playing scales in the campanella style, with the notes of a scale set out on different strings, sonically overlapping slightly in the style of little bells. This is a technique the ukulele excels at, and is used to good effect in these arrangements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSanz' music for baroque guitar transfers exceptionally wellto the uke, as these arrangements demonstrate. It is hoped that this repertoire will bring a refreshing addition to the repertoire of the ukulele, just as the littleinstrument can bring a freshness to these old but lively pieces.
