Product Description
Invocation
The guitar introduces the
evocative mood of the work, followed four measures later by the oboe, which
with its characteristic sound, embraces the guitar into a conversation and at
the same time into an invocation. The second theme,
atmospheric, echoing reveals a waiting status. The work is full of fast
arpeggios and technical difficulties for both instruments. Gradually increases
in dramatic tension and complexity and concludes with the initial idea. The
finale is simple, subtractive, allows a feeling of an unfulfilled expectation.
Duos for guitar and Oboe
are rare and always a challenging task for the composer. That was the
primary reason of mine when I started working on this work, to accomplish a
match that is unique and wonderful at the same time. Most of my music
since that time explores the uniqueness of instruments and their
interaction. Invocation was one of the first and its
material used later by me in my First Guitar Concerto (Phygein Adynaton).
Invocation was premiered at the TSAI
Performance Center in Boston, MA and it was a prize winner at the
Finalists of the 1994 ALEA Composition Competition
