Winter Light (gtr&vln)

for guitar and violin (2005)

Winter Light was commissioned by Chie Morimoto as a concert opener and premiered at Nagoya’s Denki Bunka Kaikan Concert Hall by Chie Morimoto and Yoshio Nomura on December 3, 2005. In this piece I wanted to explore the feeling of early winter light. It was originally written for violin and guitar, but later arranged for flute and guitar. The German guitar duo CordAria have included the piece in their repertoire and have been performing it throughout Germany and Brazil. It was also included on their Cd which you can check out on their site.
