Venetian Hills

Composed by
Peter Bjuhr
(2008)

Guitar solo

Work Note
I call this piece Venetian Hills. Although I must confess that I never had the
privilege to visit the area. I imagine that this is a very beautiful part of the world,
and I like to think that the music mirrors this, although perhaps with a somewhat
earthbound feel.
The musical language is rather mixed representing the complexity of our
contemporary culture. The piece features some more or less common guitar
patterns and it also mixes some rather complex rhythms with more simple and
familiar ones.
The roman numerals indicate suggested positions, with free fingering.
(Occasionally I have instead suggested which strings to use.)
