Hands Together by DAVID BRUCE
Description
Hands Together was commissioned by Lukasz Kuropaczewski. While writing the piece I became fascinated by the complementary but somewhat opposing roles the two hands of the guitarist play in creating the sound: the left hand largely concerned with pitch, the right largely with rhythm. And in particular I explored the ways that one hand can play two constrasting rhythms at the same time (think of 'bass line' and melody). But of course, it's only when both hands work together that the music emerges.
The piece is in three movements, but each uses this same premise, creating a multi-layered sound that's played individually by each hand, but only comes to life 'hands together'.
