Over the course of a career as a composer spanning 66 years, John W. Duarte made many friendships with performers and other composers. This recording documents the history of those relationships, as enshrined in the many musical tributes Duarte dedicated to others, and in three homages to Duarte, dedicated to him by other composers. The only homage by Duarte not included on this recording – Canción y Danza (Homage to Ruiz-Pipó) Op.117 – already featured in Volume One of this series (Brilliant Classics 96184).
For Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco:
The Sonatina Lirica, in three movements, was commissioned by the Guitar Weeks in Zwolle (Netherlands) Foundation and was written very quickly in the summer of 1971. Duarte described it in a letter to the Italian composer’s widow as an ‘homage to Castelnuovo-Tedesco, since I thought it matched the spirit of his music’.
Angelo Gilardino for John W. Duarte:
Italian guitarist and editor Angelo Gilardino was introduced to Duarte by Clara Castelnuovo Tedesco in September 1969. Duarte would supply Gilardino with 19 original compositions and 14 books of arrangements for the latter’s guitar sheet music series with Edizioni Musicali Bèrben, and the two exchanged hundreds of letters. A Quiet Song, written at the request of the
American guitarist David Norton and dedicated to the memory of John W. Duarte is ‘actually an essay of counterpoint upon (the tune) Barbara Allen, a song which Jack liked.’
For Wes Montgomery:
In late 1971, Gilardino wrote to Duarte suggesting he should write ‘a sort of Tombeau, if you like, a commemorative piece for Wes Montgomery’, who had died in 1968. Sua Cosa has a predominantly jazz character and, in its middle section, quotes from Montgomery’s own composition, Mi Cosa. In a letter to Duarte, 22 May 1972, Gilardino commented, ‘You should have been a medium between the sky (where I hope Wes will be) and the globe!’ In 1986 Duarte suggested this may be his favourite of his own works (for solo guitar), with its many associations and unique character.
For Antonio Lauro:
Duarte visited Venezuela for the first time in October 1979 to adjudicate the Alirio Diaz Guitar Competition. Some two months later Duarte wrote, ‘having just returned from Venezuela, where I met Antonio Lauro for the first time, and having had several Venezuelan students, I thought I would try to write a Venezuelan vals. In fact, I wrote three, within one day.
Mark Houghton for John W. Duarte:
The British guitarist/composer wrote his Elegy (Habanera) on 26 December 2004, just three days after Duarte’s passing. Houghton chose the habanera style because of Duarte’s editing of Manuel de Falla’s Homenaje pour le Tombeau de Claude Debussy, originally published in 1920 (one year after Duarte’s birth) and still a seminal piece for guitarists.
