Overture to a Hunt; Puerta del Sol (orig.)
on: January 02, 2016, 07:06:10 PM
This is an ensemble piece (sextet) where piano plays a supportive role.

This is a type of fusion of styles and harmonic language.. kind of an angular 'epic' at the beginning.. (in 5/4) , then to a bit jazzy, with a Scarlatti-like tendency for the chorus… near the end, employing a foreshortening of dueling solos, as one sometimes hears in Indian music...
The instrumentation: E. Violin, E. Guitar, A. Guitar, Drums/Perc., Acoustic Bass, Piano, Didgeridoo.

All comments are welcome and appreciated :)

Thank you for listening.
