This is the first of six works in the Musician series. Inspired by the painter Orazio Gentileschi. It’s for anyone who enjoys antiques and plays or knows someone who plays guitar (or even lute).
Centuries ago, if you wanted to hear music, you or someone you knew had to play it. It was live to the listener and temporary. This lovely woman has her ear close to her instrument, offering a beautiful intimacy. I wanted to create a piece to highlight her noble pursuit.
