New compositions for solo classic guitar by acclaimed guitarist and composer, David Pritchard. All solos are in standard notation."In addition to all the music I've written over the past twenty years for multiple acoustic guitars, I have on occasion felt inspired to write a smaller number of pieces for just one guitar. Exploring a meditative feel was my motivation for writing "A Pale View," "A Silent Dream," and "Restoration." "A Silent Dream" can be played either as a solo piece or it can be enhanced by having another guitarist play the second part. "Arundo" is basically a right hand study piece, alternating between two patterns both in different meters, while "Orb Weaver" is primarily a Latin rhythm study with much syncopation, alternating simply between two chords. "Coryza" was written with the acoustic steel string in mind using DADGAD tuning.

Through this verse translation of Vergil's Book VI of the Aeneid we journey with Aeneas through the Underworld to meet his father. Accompanied by Sibyl, the prophetess, who instructs him first to pluck the Golden Bough that will ensure his safe passage, Aeneas descends into the Underworld where he passes crowds of the dead waiting to be ferried across the river Styx before being carried across himself by Charon the Ferryman. We encounter monsters of legend like Cerberus the three headed dog who guards the gates of the Underworld, and dead souls in the Field of Mourning who are resigned with regret to their fate. We are moved by the plight of Dido, Queen of Carthage, and Aeneas’ lover who took her own life when he abandoned her. It’s a tale full of terror, sadness and longing but also of courage and resolve – rich in vivid poetic imagery to fire the imagination.
