Description

New three movement work for solo guitar which describes a Life of Death! Scenes from the “Life of Death” is part of Apostolos Paraskevas’ Concerto No 4, “The Life Of Death”. In this highly dramatic and humorous work, the composer portrays Death in a human attitude via twists, turns, variations, technical challenges and surprises. Death is a guitarist, a composer, and a disgruntled employee. He complains all the time and wants to retire. Death’s only consolation is to go home to his “soul mates”, his friends, and perform his favourite pieces with them. The titles of the movements are: “Awakening of Mournful Feelings on Arrival at Work”, “A Visit at the Playground”, and “Sad and Ungrateful Feelings After the Visit: What A Life!” Put down your beloved instrument Mr. Reaper! It’s time to pay a visit to a fellow musician down the street…
