Description

This program of music is dedicated to my wife, Janice Notland. The title work, Soliloquies and Dreams, was written for and dedicated to Alan Rinehart by Vancouver composer David Gordon Duke in 2003. It’s seven short movements explore the many colour and articulation possibilities available to the guitarist, evoking a subtly personal atmosphere.

Alan Rinehart has made many contributions to the guitar world as a performer, teacher, and music editor. Completing studies at Western Michigan University and a Professional Music Training Diploma from Vancouver Community College, he studied lute repertoire and technique in London, England at the Early Music Centre with Anthony Rooley, Jakob Lindberg, Nigel North and Emma Kirkby.  From 1983 to 2003 he was a faculty member of the music schools at the University of British Columbia and Vancouver Community College
