guitar palindrome

for solo guitar (2003), c.10-11’

This musical palindrome began as Palindrome for solo piano. Composed in 1984, it is a completely monophonic work which contained only seven different pitches that remain registrally, rhythmically and dynamically the same throughout, and which carry equal weight. Nearly 20 years later, after hearing Dominic Frasca perform early process pieces by Steve Reich and Philip Glass on solo guitar, I was very curious about what he could do with this most austere early process piece of mine.
