If you like a bit of Baroque, there’s a book available from Amazon and other sites called “Baroque Music for Mandolin”: 25 tunes in it, and 10 recordings.
There’s also another book of Bach tunes.

And let us not forget Mozart and
"Deh! vieni alla finestra,"
a pleasant mandolin serenade that became an aria in the opera
Don Giovanni.
The orchesstra actually includes a mandolin in the score.

I just found one mandolin tune on YouTube that I already know: Mandolin Chimes by Bill Yohey. I knew Bill years ago in my hometown in Oregon; I believe he died a number of years ago.

This is not a good recording -it's better in person- but it's a good tune. If I remember correctly he wrote it himself.

Long shot here!

I meet for music with several people where we feature guitar, banjo and dobro. And mandolin. So, do you have favo(u)rite tunes and songs where the mando is prominent?
