Ombres et lumières - Patrick Roux (Adam Cicchillitti, guitar)
0:00: Dans l’ombre (Movement 1)
2:23: Vers la lumière (Movement 2)
Patrick Roux is among the most prolific composers of music for classical guitar in Canadian history, boasting over 100 publications of original works for the instrument. Roux is a celebrated pedagogue teaching at the Conservatoire de Gatineau and University of Ottawa. I met Roux at the Domaine Forget Academy where he has been teaching every summer since the early 1990s, and have worked closely with the composer for several years. In 2017, Steve Cowan and myself commissioned Roux for a new piece for guitar duo. The resulting composition entitled Ombres et lumières (Shadows and lights) was published with les Productions d’Oz and premiered in Gatineau in September 2018. Knowing that Cowan and myself were both active soloists, Roux also created a solo version of the work, which is featured in this video.
Ombres et lumières was inspired by a painting of the same name, created by one of Roux’s closest friends, artist Mario Courchesne. The two movements of the work are starkly contrasted: The first is slow and sombre, described by the composer as “evoking human sorrow, immersing the listener in shadow and obscurity”, while the second is quick and relentless, eliciting a “journey on a sinuous, frantic and adventurous path towards the light.” The work is a dialogue, as motives are passed back and forth between both performers. The constant build from the introspective first movement to the motoric rhythms of the second culminates in frequently changing meters, modulations and musical devices reminiscent of progressive rock.

Domenico Scarlatti - Sonata K. 466 (Adam Cicchillitti, guitar)
มุมมอง 2.8Kปีที่แล้ว
This is my arrangement of Sonata K. 466 by Domenico Scarlatti. It is originally in F-minor, so this version could be played with a capo on the first fret to match the original key, but I liked the intonation and sound of it in E-minor so I elected to transcribe it down a semitone. It is a challenging piece on guitar because of the constant 3 against 2 pattern between treble and bass. I absolute...

    late to the party, I believe you’re one of the very few professional classical guitarists out there who could draw the soul to Bach music, demonstrated by the fact that you decided to record this piece in a much slower tempo which ironically sounds much more musical compared to when played very fast which had been done by countless professionals out there, and also the fact that you played BWV 1004 Gigue with the bass notes, and also with amount of tempo that makes the piece sounds really musical if you read TAB, could I have the honor of you playing Tchaikovsky’s “Serenade Melancolique”? I have arranged this for solo classical guitar in my YT channel and I believe there’s nobody on the planet who records the classical guitar version, I could share with you the arrangement if you’re interested 🙂

    My favourite harpsichord sonata by Scarlatti! You have captured Scarlatti's intension here brilliantly. I think he was so influenced by Iberian guitar players and tried to emulete them in his keyboard style. You have reverse engineered his ideas and done a brilliant version. Very satisfying to hear your perfect interpretation. Thank you so much. Totally enjoyable

Slender tree tops whisper as they rustle In the moonlight; No hostile traitor is going to overhear, So do not be afraid, my love. Can you hear the nightingales singing? Oh, they are beseeching you With the sweet notes of their laments, They are interceding with you on my behalf. They can understand the longing of the breast, They are familiar with the pain of love, With their silver notes they stir Every sensitive heart. Let your own breast be moved too, Beloved, listen to me! I am trembling as I await your response; Come, make me happy!
