Guitar Suite I - Elegy by kirstydevaney

Guitar Suite - III Phenomena by kirstydevaney
Гитарная сюита Кирсти Девани, композитора из Бирмингема (Англия), отличается от того, что я обычно выкладываю, большей традиционностью и мелодичностью. В современной классической музыке достаточно редко можно встретить хорошо написанную и записанную медленную гитарную музыку, которой иногда очень не хватает. Неожиданно авангардная третья часть выходит за пределы этой традиционности, что тоже очень хорошо.
"This Suite aims to experiment with different techniques of the guitar, but they are still very much pieces of music on their own.
Each movement focuses on different techniques;
I – Moving positions from sul pont to sul tasto and tremolo
II – Changing time signatures and tone
III – Prepared guitar and freedom of rhythm/pulse
First performed by Ben Mitchell"
