Info zu Vistas

"Vistas" für Flöte und Gitarre wurde von Entr'acte mit Mitteln des Ontario Arts Council in Auftrag gegeben. Es ist eines meiner meistaufgeführten Werke. Es wurde am 24. November 1983 in der Royal Conservatory Recital Hall in Toronto uraufgeführt und sofort von Entr'acte unter der Schirmherrschaft der Jeunesses Musicales du Canada auf Tournee genommen. In der Folge wurde es von verschiedenen Interpreten in Kanada und den Vereinigten Staaten gespielt. Es ist für alle Zuhörer sehr zugänglich und nicht besonders schwierig. Es ist sowohl für fortgeschrittene Flöten- als auch für Gitarrenschüler geeignet.

Hier wird es von Robert Cram, Flöte, und John Armstrong, Gitarre, an der Universität von Ottawa 1999 aufgeführt.
