Vistas
Composed in 1983 for Guitar and Flute
1. Horizon
2. Dance of the Shadows
3. Sunset
Vistas for flute and guitar was commissioned by Entr’acte with funds from the Ontario Arts Council. It is one of my most performed works. Premiered November 24, 1983 at the Royal Conservatory Recital Hall in Toronto, it was immediately taken on tour by Entr’acte under the auspices of Jeunesses Musicales du Canada. It has subsequently been played by a number of different performers in Canada and the United States. It is extremely accessible to all audiences and not terribly difficult. It would be appropriate for advanced students of both flute and guitar.
The performance here is from my 2023 CD, also entitled “Vistas”, featuring Lara Deutsch, flute and Adam Cicchillitti, guitar.
