Description

Alfaia e Maré consists of 10 pages plus parts. Guitar Four is tuned to 6=C, and opens with a compelling rhythmic bass line. Then things take a sudden turn: The music moves into 5/8 time and Guitar One is at fret 19 with quick passages across the strings. We return to 4/4 and to energetic rhythm patterns played loudly. Many of the opening passages are repeated, and the writing is rhythmic and harmonically adventurous. The texture evolves with staccato chords and a solo woven from triplets. A center section with harmonies and a recitative quality leads into a pianis­simo reprise of the opening bassline before a fiery ending on the last 16th note of the bar. It looks at first sight like more is to come, but no, the piece finishes on a stac­cato note right at the end of measure. This piece requires a competent ensemble, but there is nothing that looks unfamiliar to a good player.
