Da Chara (Two Friends), for Flute and Guitar.(Book review)
Da Chara (Two Friends), for Flute and Guitar, by Ian Krouse. Peermusic Classical, (www.peermusicclassical.com; 1(800) 854-6764, ext. 230), 2005. 7 pp. each. $17.95.
This piece is written in "traditional Irish style," beginning with a free, improvisational air and progressing through another air, a march and a wild reel.
The opening improvisation is a lovely melody embellished in the Irish manner. Ian Krouse includes written ornamentation, which is very helpful to those not yet familiar with the style. This portion of the piece is probably the most difficult because of the ensemble issues in playing a "double improvisation."
The following air in 3/4 is introduced by the guitar alone and then played by both instruments. This evolves into a march, which uses the material from the opening improvisation. The tempo accelerates throughout the march into a quick reel which then becomes a "wild reel," with the guitar playing the melody and the flute playing variations above the guitar.
