Composed and Performed by Skip Witmyer
Guitar by Robert Ruck
Art Work by Juan Gris
This set of variations is inspired by the famous anonymous classic for the guitar commonly known as Romanza. Originally entitled, "Variations on a Lament," it was composed for and dedicated to Apostolos Paraskevas. Since it was first published and recorded by Apostolos, I have added three new variations, renamed it, and recorded it myself. Influences range from Barrios to Bach. It's composed in a quasi, neo-Romantic style with modern elements such as quartal harmony and upper structure triads.
