Product Description
An Unexpected Vista is a work for solo guitar by Jeffrey Hoover. Cinematic in quality, the music possesses an expansiveness. While a contemporary work, this composition has been performed effectively on programs that include Classical, Romantic, or 20th-century works. As with other compositions by Hoover, there is an interpretive painting by Hoover that may be projected during the performance if desired.
The score in this edition is arranged to be printed double-sided, with correct page turns.
Jeffrey Hoover's compositions- music ranging from soloist to symphony orchestra -have received recognition through the Universal Edition/SMP Press Contemporary Composition Award, the prestigious Trieste prize, the international Luigi Russolo competition, awards from Mu Phi Epsilon, the Lancaster Fine Arts Festival, grants, publications fellowships and more than 20 commissions.
