This Friday, July 11th, guitarist and composer Rick Alexander unveils his latest original work: Lament, a Celtic-influenced instrumental for solo classical guitar.
The piece opens with a lilting, melancholic melody—subtle and lyrical, inviting introspection. As it unfolds, the theme is reharmonized, with evolving rhythm and harmonic movement that gently suggest a sense of hope. The closing bars return to the initial motif, landing on a few tender chords that linger quietly.
Performed with restraint and emotional depth, Lament highlights Alexander’s compositional voice: rooted in acoustic tradition, yet guided by personal narrative.
