Cuando Estoy En Los Campos, as performed by Juan Gabriel

Hello all,





Welcome to the twenty-second MACT Project Presentation, Cuando Estoy En Los Campos, as performed by Juan Gabriel. This was a request that I was gladly to transcribe--a friend of mine has always wanted this arrangement and when I spoke to him about the MACT Project, he immediately requested this chart.

Personally, I enjoy listening, performing, and transcribing Juan Gabriel's music. Also, the arranger that Juan Gabriel has on his staff is top-notch and deserves recognition--if I knew his or her name, I would gladly give them props. On a side note, it would be fantastic to pick their brains about writing and arranging. Oh, to dream.

Well, here it is:
(Editor's note: Measure 53, 2nd time around, is where the Pre-coda sign to go to the Coda SHOULD BE, if already downloaded sheet music, please make that correction.)

Volar, Volar, As Performed by Mariachi Cobre



Greetings All,





For the Twelfth installment of the MACT Project, we present Volar, Volar, as performed by Mariachi Cobre.

I remember when the 25th Anniversary CD of Mariachi Cobre's work made it into my hands, some ten or twelve years ago, I was so excited that I had their CD on replay, for at least a week. The reason why I enjoyed their music was because I could relate to them; for the most part, the large majority of their members, at the time, were Mexican-American, or whatever term one chooses to designate said population. So, I felt more of a connection to them, than suppose, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan, or others, where the vast majority of the people in their group are native born Mexicanos (granted, this was an assumption that I held, which in some cases, was not totally true.). Well, one of the songs that I played over and over again was Volar, Volar.

Here, I present the work of Mariachi Cobre: Volar, Volar

El Siete Mares


Salute all,





For the Ninth edition, I present a hybrid piece. By hybrid piece, I mean that El Siete Mares is both an arrangement and a transcribed piece. I utilized the template of El Siete Mares, as performed by Pedro Fernandez, and retrofitted it to make sense to a group that I was directing at the time. I believe that it was about two years ago. Anyway, I hope one enjoys.

El Siete Mares, arranged by Plucking Mingus, and taken from the rendition by Pedro Fernandez:

Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" as Performed by Frankie Valli

Aloha Music Lovers,






For the sixth musical number, I chose to showcase an arrangement of Frankie Valli's Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. This arrangement is not to be confused from that of Mariachi International's rendition of said song.

I think that the arranger for International--name escapes me--used Frankie Valli's rendition as a templet, as did I. Nonetheless, I hope that you enjoy, and let me know what you think.

Recuerdo A Rocio--A Medley by Plucking Mingus

Greetings all,





For this fourth installment, I humbly propose something different, and special: a medley dedicated to Rocio Durcal.


When Rocio Durcal passed, I scrambled everywhere trying to find a medley of Rocio Durcal; looking through mountains of Mariachi CDs to no avail; and spoke to other mariacheros with no luck. The search was frustrating. Then, when my old mariachi group wanted to play a couple of Rocio Durcal numbers, I decided to write this medley, for the heck of it.

Here it is:

Requerdo A Rocio--(Sabes Por Que, Tarde, Costumbres):
