From the complete Original Soundtrack to the novel of the same name by Jorge Armenteros. A musical interpretation of a man’s journey through self-discovery and, ultimately, to freedom. Solitude’s Hypocrisy signals the point at which our hero has reached the absolute end of his strength and must face his own hopelessness: The ever-shifting world throws me into a lonely corner when I need someone. And when I crave solitude, my skull lets everybody into my mind… when I could almost touch Phillipy, he jumped…Even Camila, walking away from me when I need her most. *Submitted for 2015 Areon Flutes International Chamber Music Composition Competition.*.

Strings & Threads Suite adapted for violin and guitar is a piece comprising of thirteen tunes composed by Mark O’Connor. In 1986, the Tennessee Dance Theater commissioned the Suite from O’Connor to be performed as a violin solo at Nashville’s Summer Lights Festival. The individual tunes are in various folk styles appearing in a chronological form for which O’Connor says not only represents the evolution of American folk music, but also mirrors his own family’s migration from Ireland and Holland to America. It traces the family’s route through the thirteen colonies initially, and then eventually out West during WWl nearly 300 hundred years later. O’Connor wrote the pieces in a manner and style in which he felt his family could have heard along the way. The Suite begins with Irish music, maybe similar to what O’Connor’s family brought with them. Then in a thoughtful progression, reveals music they must of encountered living in early America. Strings & Threads musically describes how folk music styles hundreds of years apart are interconnected - possessing a common thread, from an Irish reel to jazz. The music is suited for advanced and intermediate.
