Composer:Maurice OhanaGenre:KeyboardStyle:KeyboardCompose Date:1969 - 1971Average_duration:14:39Sorôn-Ngô is a composition for solo guitar by French composer Maurice Ohana. It was composed in 1972 and premiered in Paris in the same year. The piece is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement, titled "Sorôn," is characterized by its use of percussive techniques on the guitar. Ohana instructs the performer to strike the strings with the thumb and fingers of the right hand, creating a rhythmic and percussive effect. The movement also features a recurring melodic motif that is passed between the hands of the performer. The second movement, titled "Ngô," is more lyrical in nature. It features a slow and expressive melody that is played with great sensitivity and nuance. The movement also includes moments of virtuosic fingerpicking, showcasing the technical abilities of the performer. The final movement, titled "Sorôn-Ngô," combines elements of the first two movements. It features percussive techniques and a recurring melodic motif, as well as moments of lyrical expression. The movement builds to a climactic conclusion, with the performer using a variety of techniques to create a dense and complex texture. Overall, Sorôn-Ngô is a challenging and rewarding piece for the solo guitarist. It requires a high level of technical proficiency, as well as a deep understanding of the expressive possibilities of the instrument. The piece is a testament to Ohana's innovative approach to composition, and his ability to push the boundaries of traditional musical forms.More....
