Music
by Delpriora, Gilardino, Hudson, Johanson, Kenyon, Marron, Mearns,
Ourkouzounov, Piorkowski and Van der Veen.
This
collection of new music, written by composers who are, or have been,
performing guitarists themselves, presents a collection of intermediate to
advanced concert works that explores the musical and technical diversity of
the contemporary guitar. Each composer offers a unique musical and technical
perspective of what the contemporary guitar is -- the harmonic language
ranges from jazz to atonality, the stylistic one from blues to minimalism, the
cultural one from Eastern European to Celtic.
Reviews
"guitarist-composers
composing for guitarists -- a journey around
the world with contemporary music...exciting work for long
evenings filled with outrageous sounds..."
