Par CAGE JOHN. Bacchanale, John Cage\'s first work to exploit his influential \'prepared piano\' technique, arose from a request for musical accompaniment by dancer Syvilla Fort. Intending to write her a percussion piece, Cage discovered that the theater in which the premiere was to take place was too small to accommodate any instruments beyond the piano already present, and instead adapted the piano into a palette of percussive sounds by placing small foreign objects among the strings. A new arrangement by guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan translates this six-minute work from the prepared piano to an even more novel instrumentation: a duo of prepared guitars, the sound of their vibrating strings transformed by the addition of alligator clips, washers, and slips of paper. This performing score (EP 6784a) includes detailed, illustrated instructions from the arranger on how to prepare the instruments. The original version of Bacchanale is now available for sale in John Cage\'s Prepared Piano Music 1940-47, Vol. 1 (EP 67886a). Along with fellow guitarist Adam Levin, Aaron Larget-Caplan gave the world premiere of this arrangement in December 2018 at Arlington Street Church in Boston. / Date parution : 2022-09-07/ Répertoire / 2 Guitares Préparées

Par HAND FREDERIC. On an invitation to Greece by the guitar duo Evangelos and Liza, Hand brought along his new Odyssey as a gift. 'The title refers both to my trip to Greece and also to the way in which the musical ideas interact with each other and evolve throughout their long journey,' he says. The work also became the title track for his album, Odyssey, and is featured in a duet with fellow guitar master, David Leisner. 'The work alternates between lush, pulsating chords and lyrical melodic passages before arriving at a vigorously strummed climactic passage.' (from the album liner notes)/ Répertoire / 2 Guitares
