Imagine taking a walk through the most majestic trees you can imagine, yes I am speaking about the Giant Sequoias in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park. So, your hike starts at dawn and will end at sunset. On your walk, nature comes alive...you can feel the plants growing, and the beauty of life all around you. Can that awareness of the never-ending growth of life be put to music? The composer attempts to do just this in "Yosemite Suite: For Guitar Quartet" . Yosemite Suite is an advanced, modern work for concert performance. It is a somewhat programatic work as each of the five movements depict a various places or elements in Yosemite National Park. The work utilizes various compositional techniques such as: jazz harmony, whole tone scales, polytonality, metric modulation and stereo-effect voicings. The complete score - (all 5 movements) with an accompanying Mp3 file is also available. Each movement is sold separately with the score and the 4 parts.
