For Guitar and Violoncello
I was inspired to compose for this duo of instruments after practicing with Jill for my own guitar exam. In When the Day Ends the Cello and Guitar trade melodies and accompany each other using arpeggiated triads. In a contrasting section, the guitar plays chords over the cello’s bass line. The melodies return as well as the chords for the coda.
