Rollercoaster (1998) - 4'
for
Solo Guitar

Programme Note

_ I wrote this piece before I was aware of the minimalist style. Indeed I remember when I started composing it I wondered to myself whether it was ok to repeat short melodic phrases like I do at the beginning of this piece. My subsequent discovery of minimalist music confirmed to me that not only was it ok, but it was a strong compositional trend of the time. I have since re-arranged ‘Rollercoaster’ for guitar quartet and as the third movement of my String Quartet No.1 ‘Fairground Attractions’.
