Composed by Stewart, Billy. Contemporary. Score and parts. 4 pages. Gordon Cherry #3420749. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792092).The composer's description of this fascinating, expressive and unique work:
"I wrote this piece after being inspired by the poem 'Colours' by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, an older contemporary poet who was of Russian heritage [recently deceased]. This coincided - of course - with the loss of my 'heart's desire'. I wrote one melodic note for each syllable of the English translation of the text. I came up with the melody in the left hand of the piano with right hand playing chords/lines above it. I re-wrote the chordal parts for the guitar [my true instrument] with the idea of a low voice singing the words below the guitar part. It seems the melody was not singable! However, I did not want to change it- I thought the melody was exactly as it should be."
This work is about 3 minutes in length and appropriate for advanced performers.
