Here are 64 Baroque pieces for the Madora composed or collected by anonymous composers arranged for the Low G ukulele. There are at least 55 sources of mandora music in tablature, all in mostly anonymous manuscript format, and nearly all of Germanic origin. These contain solos, duets, song accompaniments, and chamber music most of which were composed in the 18th century. Few studies have appeared and very little of the music has been transcribed and published. Many have no composers attributed but in recent years studies of concordances are beginning to uncover music by composers such as Silvius Leopold Weiss who was arguably the greatest lutenist of the Baroque era and Johann Anton Logy.
