“Evocative «story» about strangers on a train” As the Director of Education for the GFA and Director of Guitar Studies for Oklahoma City University, Matthew Denman is someone who has demonstrated that he’s keen on guitar ensembles. In this piece, scored for guitar quartet, Guitars One and Four have a «divisi» section, so a larger ensemble is ideally needed. This is a substantial work, but all the part scores have well-chosen page turns. The score tells a story: there’s mist, a train, its whistle, and then we meet Passenger 1, and the effect that the titular «picture» has on each character. Passenger 2 is nervous and the picture reminds them of an unpleasant memory. Passenger 3 receives a spiritual awakening from the picture and there is a conversation about art. The piece concludes with the performance marking «Three passengers having three different experiences because of one picture on a train.» All of these ideas are to be evoked by Denman’s score. This piece requires an ensemble with quite strong technical ability, but rhythmically the motion of the train acts to bind the parts tightly together, so this may actually come together more readily than some easier pieces where the parts do not interlock. I feel a good ensemble could make magic out of this «intermediate» piece. (Classical Guitar Magazine)
