Still: for two guitars

still: for two guitars

In this classical guitar duet, Frederic Hand, a member of Local 802 (New York City), considers a short, long-held figure passed from one guitarist to the other even as the resonance fades to stillness. From this, the piece develops into a luscious, melodic duo. Hand describes the writing, “After they were passed a few times from one guitar to the other, I began exploring a second theme, a melody in stepwise motion.”
