Berkeley: Double Guitar Concerto

Description

The first movement, Intrada, is the shortest and suggests material that will emerge later. The slow central movement, Stillness, animation, stillness, opens and closes with an opaque sense of space and clock-like chimes. in the finale, Pursuit, ideas from the previous two movements are brought together with the guitars being constantly harried by the ensemble. There is a slow middle section before the clarion motif of the Intrada further encourages the idea of a chase.
