  I've never heard this on guitar (and I am a guitarist), and you do a spectacular job here! Very tastefully played, love the ornaments. Is this your transcription? If so, have you transcribed any of the remaining variations? Bravo!

Interesting that he talks of a "suspicion about culture" in the U.S., but also laments the glorification of popular culture. I guess in his mind, "popular culture" and "culture" are two different things.

  Those solos are so sick, they're demented, particularly the guitar and mandolin ones! I love the way they go so far from clichés, and even tonality, before working their way back to solid ground, as it were. The whole band is amazing.

About this user

Clark Winslow Ross is a Canadian composer and professor of composition whose works have been performed in England, Ireland, Israel, Japan, the United States, and across Canada by some of Canada's finest musicians, ensembles, and orchestras (click to see list of performers), including the guitarist Daniel Bolshoy, who has performed Ross's "McGillicuddy's Rant" over 70 times in North America and elsewhere, and who released a CD of the same name in 2008. More recently (spring, 2010), Ross's "Last Dance" was released on a Centrediscs CD by pianist Barbara Pritchard called "Piano Atlantica." A soon-to-be-released CD by pianist Kristina Szutor, Après Scarlatti, will include two newly-composed Clark Ross works ("Domenico Daybreak," and "Domenico Nightfall"), and another imminent release by Canadian guitarist Sylvie Proulx will also contain her rendition of "McGillicuddy's Rant."

Ross was Visiting Composer at Wheaton College, Illinois (2007), Composer-in-Residence at Ireland's Waterford New Music Week (2003), and has won Young Composer's Awards in national competitions by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. He has also received over 20 commission grants from various funding agencies, including the Canada Council, the CBC, and the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council. Clark is the founder and Artistic Director of the Newfound Music Festival, held every February in St. John's, and was a founding member and later President of Continuum, the Toronto-based new-music group. He serves on the national executive of the Canadian League of Composers, and formerly served on the national boards of the Canadian Music Centre and Canadian New Music Network.

Born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, Clark was raised there and in Caracas (Venezuela), Lima (Peru), Lennoxville (Quebec), New York City, Fort Lee (New Jersey), Brussels (Belgium), and Toronto, where he attended university and later taught at the Royal Conservatory of Music and McMaster University. Upon receiving a Mus.Doc. (composition) degree from the University of Toronto in 1992, he began working at Memorial University's School of Music, where he started the classical guitar programme and is currently an Associate Professor, teaching composition, orchestration, theory, and electronic music. He was awarded Memorial University's President's Award for Outstanding Research (1999) in recognition of his extensive compositional activities . He is married to Dr. Jennifer Porter (professor of Religious Studies, Memorial University), and has three children (Alexander, (b. 2004), Andrew (b. 2001), and Julia (b. 1990). His interests outside of family and music include baseball, cats, cooking, ethnic food, reading, writing short stories, and invigorating jumping dances.
