Written for Benjamin Verdery.
This led to the idea of instituting a Yale School of Music Guitar Audition piece. These audition pieces, written by my colleagues at Yale, were the genesis of these recordings. Of course, not all of the works on this album were audition pieces, but movements from some of them definitely were. For example, I remember saying to Ezra Laderman, “You wrote such a knock out piece you simply have to write more!” http://www.benjaminverdery.com/vineyard-sound
