Small Portions for guitar (2011)
i roulade
ii amuse bouche
iii tapa picante
9-10 minutes
Small Portions was composed for Douglas Rubio. The piece grew from the second movement, which was originally written as the accompaniment to an abandoned novelty piece. Doug liked that guitar part on its own, so I wrote two more movements to make the piece more usable on a recital program. The movement titles came after the piece was finished, and are more whimsical than descriptive.
