   ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙AMaj7 lt to transMeditation was a commercial hit for Charlie Byrd after he and Stan Getz recorded the album "Jazz Samba."  It was written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and is one of the most recognizable bossas novas from that era.

Charlie Byrd recorded this tune many times over his career.  It was one of his most requested pieces.  This version is from his first recording, from the Riverside LP/CD "Bossa Nova Pelos Pasaros" which translates as "Bossa Nova by the Byrds."  

This is one of probably my favorite Top 5 tunes of all times and styles.  I have a lot of notes on this one and I hope that you'll indulge me.

The Orchestra, as Charlie was fond of saying, comprised:

Charlie Byrd on the unamplified classical guitar. (Transcribed as faithfully as I can with the exception of adding two additional notes as explained below.)

Keter Betts on standup bass.  I transcribed the first pass through as faithfully as possible.  I compared it to the second pass and didn't find any really significant differences.  Since this is for guitar players and the bass is for realism, I hope that no one questions this.

Bill Reichenbach on drums.  I took a two measure Bossa Nova rhythm section that I'd created on earlier works, and whittled it to a pretty close approximation of what Mr. Reichenbach did.

String section from the Washington Symphony.  I didn't attempt to transcribe the string section.  To my ears, this always sounded like an afterthought rather than part of a symphonic score.  I really like this version much better without the strings than with them.

As Charlie matured, his improvisations on this tune became more sophisticated.  His last recording, was a duet with the legendary Brazilian guitar genius, Laurindo Almeida.  Almeida died suddenly . three weeks after they recorded this.   To me what makes this version so appealing is the intricate little arpeggio Charlie plays on the beginning of this recording.

The tune is in the key of A.

For those that have never played one of Charlie's arrangements, the following notes might be helpful:

Charlie is a classically trained guitarist, so he is pretty classically orthodox with his lefthand fingering.  That is to say, no noting with the left thumb, and a minimum of barres by the 2, 3, and 4th fingers.  He plays scales for the most part very classically with his right hand, I M I M, etc.

Charlie's arpeggios ring, but due to his classical style of playing scales using what classical guitarists call a rest or supported stroke (apoyando), notes of a scale passage tend to have their written duration.

Charlie was a terrific sight reader and played about 90% of  arranged parts of tunes from manuscripts.  Most of the nonclassical music that he played was with his trio:  his brother Joe on either acoustic or electric bass, and a drummer.  Intro's, first and last verses were generally tightly arranged.  Charlie gave the bass player more structured parts than he would have if he were arranging a solo piece.  If I am going to play one of Charlie's arrangements that I have transcribed from the record, I'll check the bass parts and sometimes add these to the guitar solo I'm playing.

Measure 7 (last beat), 8 & 9:  Note that Charlie uses an F#7 chord.  In later versions he would change measure 8 to a C#m7 chord.

Measure 38: Note that Charlie is playing out of an A chord form.  In later versions he would switch to a C#m7 chord form.

Measure 45:  The C on the 3rd string was added to fill a hole previously played by the string section.

Measure 46:  The blend of guitar, strings, and bass made this measure very difficult to transcribe and this is my best guess.

Measure 55:  For the first half of the Measure, Charlie uses a B7 chord.  In later versions, he would change to a Bm7 just by playing the 4th string as an open D instead of the D#.

Measure 59,  Charlie "chokes" the first note of the measure, ever so slightly.  The limitations of the midi say that it sounds better to leave it straight than the minimum bend allowable.

Measure 68:  The pulloffs depicted are actually a slide to the 11th fret, and then a pulloff.  The sound given by the midi if I notate it that way is more distracting that this method of notating it.

The Ending:  In this first recording Charlie divides the ending between himself and the bass.  In later recordings Charlie would play the entire ending himself and the bass play would play either other notes or echo what Charlie was doing.

In Measure 113 on the Bass score note that Keter plays B notes as two 1/8's then a quarter.  I personally think that this is a mistake on his part and it should have been 4-1/8's.  In all subsequent versions this would be the way it would be played.
