Title
Mirrors of fire
Author/Creator
Vella, Richard
Description
Mirrors of Fire (MoF) is a classical guitar solo. The classical guitar tradition is arguably the more conservative of guitar cultures. The research examines ways concert repertoire for classical guitar can incorporate the vitality and stylistic idiosyncrasies of popular music for guitar. Furthermore, in what ways can polyrhythm extend the technique of the guitarist and the boundaries of virtuosity? MoF extends polyrhythmic technique for guitar playing with the introduction of right hand polyrhythmic fingering over contrapuntal lines fingered by the left hand. The technique is difficult to execute and not often encountered in the repertoire. MoF is recognised as repertoire for the guitar virtuoso.
