1. Souvenir de Cros-Lex High
2. Intavolatura di Ave Maria
3. Lonely Campfire Waltz
Program Notes
This is my first attempt at solo guitar music since early in my undergraduate years.. They are salon pieces in the sense of being for private entertainment rather than being big statements, and because of their formal simplicity. They are also music about guitar music.
- Souvenir de Cros-Lex High. The blues meet Tristan in a tale of adolescent angst and alienation.
- Intavolatura di Ave Maria. Intabulations were an important part of the plucked instrument repertoire, but there’s no point in doing a Renaissance piece and no copyright clearance to do a modern one. So this is a straightforward setting of my 2007 Ave Maria for mixed chorus
- 3.Lonely Campfire Waltz. The most 19th-century of the pieces, a nostalgic and bitter good night.
My thanks go to Robert Sharpe (who gave the premiere) and to Stephen Toombs, for editorial advice, and to Andrew Pongracz, who lent me the guitar I used in working out the piece.
