Notes
Sonata for Harp and Guitar is influenced by French artists Odilon Redon and Emile Galle as well as the city of Paris. Throughout the score are descriptive phrases such as “candlelight on a glass vase, shadows of leaves dance on the walls, beauty in the darkness of night. Anthony Sidney draws inspiration for all his music from every aspect of the arts; painting, poetry, architecture, music, and life.
