Born in Palermo, studied at the conservatory in Darmstadt and currently works as a guitar teacher in Germany. Di Girolamo played guitar in pop bands in his youth and 😉 “converted” to classical guitar at a later age. At Google you will mainly find advertising for his music publications. Well, a biography is sometimes not easy to find.

I came across his music on Youtube. I took a look at Stretta Music and thought: “Nice accessible pieces.”

I asked and got Guitar Poems for Sinterklaas. 20 pieces of nice relaxation music in short pieces. They are not technically very difficult, yet a great exercise in syncopated arpeggio patterns as you often find in pop songs.

Recordings

For the recordings, I used the following publications:

• Giuseppe di Girolamo, Guitar Poems, Ricordi Sy. 2909, ISMN 979-0-2042-2909-3
