Detailed Catalog Description Site Name: Композитор (Composer) URL: https://iluha.home.blog Author: Illia Baranov (Ілля Баранов) Language: Ukrainian Platform: WordPress.com (free blog) Active since: 2019 Last updated: March 2026
About the Site Композитор ("Composer") is a personal music blog run by Ukrainian guitarist and composer Illia Baranov. The site has been actively maintained since 2019 and focuses on guitar sheet music — both original compositions and arrangements of well-known melodies. All content is presented in Ukrainian and is aimed at guitar players ranging from beginners to intermediate level. The site is organized into four clearly defined sections: Arrangements, Compositions, Lessons, and Instrument & Gear.
Section 1 — Arrangements (Аранжування) This section contains guitar arrangements of popular melodies from films, musicals, and video games. Each post includes sheet music (standard notation and/or tablature) displayed as images, typically in one or two difficulty versions — a simplified version for beginners and a fuller, more demanding version for advanced players. Current arrangements include:
Promise (Reprise) from Silent Hill 2 (composer: Akira Yamaoka) — available in both simplified and full versions Belle from the musical Notre Dame de Paris Arabian Nights from Disney's Aladdin He's a Pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean A Whole New World from Aladdin La Cumparsita — classic Argentine tango Por una Cabeza — tango by Carlos Gardel
Section 2 — Original Compositions (Композиції) This section showcases the author's own original pieces for solo guitar. Posts often document the creative process across multiple revision versions, including audio recordings. Compositions include:
Winter Romance (Зимовий Романс) — a modern guitar romance published in February 2026, presented across four iterative versions with sheet music and an audio recording March (Марш) — a military-style march for guitar (2025) Etude (Етюд) — a classical-style study piece Blues (Блюз) — a guitar blues composition The Arrival of Spring (Прихід весни) — a lyrical seasonal piece East Tango (Східне танго) — an oriental-flavored tango
Section 3 — Lessons (Уроки) Educational articles written for guitar students. Topics covered include:
How to read music notation on guitar — note positions on the fretboard, how to read sheet music How to play guitar chords — chord diagrams, fingering patterns, chord types Guitar playing techniques — practical techniques for improving playing skills How to compose music — an introductory guide to composing for guitar, including a review of notation software such as Guitar Pro and MuseScore (with screenshots of the author's own works in both programs)
Section 4 — Instrument & Gear (Інструментарій) Practical reference articles for guitarists:
DIY guitar repair — tips for basic guitar maintenance and modification Setting up a new electric guitar — initial setup guide How to choose guitar strings — overview of string types and selection criteria
Content Format All sheet music is presented as embedded images (PNG format), composed in Guitar Pro or MuseScore. Some posts also include audio recordings of the pieces. The site does not offer downloadable files but all notation is clearly readable in-browser. Posts are regularly updated — for example, the Winter Romance piece was revised and expanded across multiple versions within the same post.
Community & Contact The site invites visitors to contribute their own arrangements, compositions, or educational materials by submitting them through a dedicated feedback/contact form. Conditions for content submission are outlined on the contact page.
