Program Note |
Part of JIJI’s Unbound project (a commissioning and recording project aimed to expand the classical guitar repertoire), passaggio is a six-minute virtuosic work for solo classical guitar. The music plays with range, contrasting the guitar’s distinctive registers, and the piece requires the performer to sing (something that makes the piece uniquely tailored to JIJI and really only accessible by other female guitarists). The title, Italian for “passage,” is a term used in classical singing to describe the transition area between vocal registers.
