Composed by Jeremiah Lawson. Contemporary. Score and parts. 14 pages. Jeremiah Lawson #6013867. Published by Jeremiah Lawson (A0.985326).This is a 14 page work in three movements that has a performance time of roughly 12:30 to 13:30. I composed this sonata back in 2012 and it was given a filmed premiere by Brett Parnell on banjo and Daniel Corr on guitar.
The first movement is a sonata form that opens in G minor and ends in G major. The second movement is a set of variations on an old shape note tune known as "Star in the East", and the third movement is a five-part rondo that recapitulates themes from the first and second movements.
This sonata is part of a larger cycle of chamber sonatas I have been composing since 2000 which began with my sonata for flute and guitar and pairs the guitar up with woodwinds, strings and brass. The over-arching concept that guides the chamber sonata cycle as I've been working on it is to draw upon Haydn and Clementi's monothematic sonata forms as a template for synthesizing 18th century galant era processes of gestural development with American vernacular and popular styles, often from the age of ragtime up through to the 1940s and beyond.
