I opened my mail today to find an amazing gift of music! \u00a0Composer and good friend, Ryan Vigil, sent me a new composition like one I have never seen: \u00a0an evening length work for solo guitar; 69:30!<\/p>\n

I am honored by the dedication and even more so by the fact that he felt inspired to create this music “out of an experience at a guitar recital by Aaron Larget-Caplan.” \u00a0Isn’t that exciting!<\/p>\n

He writes in the note:<\/p>\n

“I found myself struck by the unique loveliness of the sound as, in between pieces, Aaron quietly, and carefully, tuned his instrument. \u00a0Of course, the tuning of a guitar at a guitar recital is not at all uncommon; yet, on this particular occasion I was struck by the particular beauty of the instrument. \u00a0The delicate sound of harmonics and open strings; the natural and unselfconscious manner of execution; and the concentrated listening Aaron was engaged in all struck me. \u00a0In particular, the sound of the instrument – which I have long admired – struck me as more beautiful than ever before. \u00a0A short while later I decided to compose a piece which celebrated that sound, and that unselfconscious, highly attuned, kind of listening. \u00a0In recognition of the genesis of the composition, as well as my gratitude for his continuing friendship and advocacy for my music, this piece is dedicated to Aaron Larget-Caplan” <\/em><\/p>\n

Sharing music of another for the public is a great honor, and it is truly wonderful to receive such a gift and responsibility. \u00a0I am just the messenger but a very happy messenger!<\/p>\n

Thank you Ryan.<\/p>\n

ps. Ryan Vigil is featured on my New Lullaby CD with the final track: \u00a0Shhhh \u2013 www.NewLullabyProject.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

pps. I’ll start working on it very soon so the public can hear more of the magic that is Ryan Vigil’s music.<\/p>\n
