Info zu Justin Holland: Guitar Works & Arrangements

Justin Holland war eine wichtige afroamerikanische Persönlichkeit in der nationalen US-Antisklavereibewegung und eine bedeutende Persönlichkeit in der Gitarrenkomposition und -methodik. Als Komponist synthetisierte er europäische Vorbilder und griff auf Volks-, Kirchen- und Gesellschaftslieder zurück, wodurch eine reiche Vielfalt an Werken entstand. Als Meister virtuoser Variationen sind seine Arrangements witzig, elegant und farbenfroh und gipfeln in Carnival of Venice, das die ganze Bandbreite seiner Begabung zeigt, mitreißend in der Breite und schillernd in der Wirkung.
