Virgo and Taurus
for cello and guitar
Story behind the piece:
Duet for cello and classical guitar, written in memory of a very short-lived but intense affair with a cellist, so short-lived that I had to get another cellist to play it!
Credits: David W Solomons (composer and guitarist) and Chris Benson (cello)
The major seventh theme of this piece also appears in my setting of Verlaine's poem Ariette Oubliée No 4 (Il faut, voyez-vous nous pardonner des choses)
