Three Homages Published by GCP
Three Homages, composed by Candice Mowbray, are musical tributes to three of the great guitarists of the twentieth century: Ida Presti from France (1924-1967), Maria Luisa Anido from Argentina (1907-1996) and Luise Walker from Austria (1910-1998). Presti, Anido and Walker were brilliant guitarists with incredible careers who gave concerts throughout the world, made recordings, composed, and earned the utmost respect and admiration from critics, colleagues, students and audiences.
Aiming to pique curiosity in new listeners and connect to memories and affections in longtime fans, the pieces are imbued with ideas inspired by the guitarists' recordings, repertoire, compositions and musical styles, and the titles of are based on nicknames referenced in literature. While commissioned as set pieces for a youth competition, the homage to Luise Walker is definitely a concert work and the Anido and Presti pieces offer plenty of interesting and exciting elements for meaningful interpretation. Professional concert players have shown enthusiasm for hearing and performing these works.
