New compositions for solo classic guitar by acclaimed guitarist and composer David Pritchard. All solos are in standard notation. 'In addition to all the music I?ve written over the past twenty years for multiple acousticguitars I have on occasion felt inspired to write a smaller number of pieces for just one guitar. Exploring a meditative feel was my motivation for writing ?A Pale View ' 'A Silent Dream ' and 'Restoration.' 'A Silent Dream'can be played either as a solo piece or it can be enhanced by having another guitarist play the second part. 'Arundo' is basically a right hand study piece alternating between two patterns both in different meters while 'OrbWeaver' is primarily a Latin rhythm study with much syncopation alternating simply between two chords. 'Coryza' was written with the acoustic steel string in mind using DADGAD tuning.
