Product Description
The title of this solo-Tombeau-literally means "tomb," in a musical sense similar to that used by composers from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries for pieces intended to honor the memory of distinguished personages. From early times, it has been customary for the creators of tombeaux and similar works to make at least some allusion to the styles of those composers they have chosen to commemorate musically. In this case, the baroque style is vividly evoked, with particular reference to the sonatas of J. S. Bach.
(Publisher's Note: Joseph Dillon Ford originally wrote this for guitar solo but it had not been finalised. It seemed more appropriate, in my view, to divide the voices between two instruments, in order to preserve fluency).
