The Contemporary Guitar: An Anthology of New Music by Guitarist Composers
(MB 99527, 2001. 102 pages)
This collection of new music, written by composers who are 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. Music by Delpriora, Gilardino, Hudson, Johanson, Kenyon, Marron, Mearns, Ourkouzounov, Piorkowski and Van der Veen.
"a weighty anthology of new music...." CLASSICAL GUITAR, England
"guitarist-composers composing for guitarists -- a journey around the world with contemporary music...exciting work for long evenings filled with outrageous sounds..." GITARRE AKTUELL, Germany.
