While camping in Yosemite National Park, the composer, a nature lover at heart, with his classical guitar at hand, sketched a series of motifs that attempted to capture the moments of awe and wonder he felt with his stay there. These sketches were the beginnings of Van Decker's innovative work, Yosemite Suite: For Guitar Quartet.
Yosemite Suite is an advanced, modern work for concert performance. It is a somewhat programatic work as each of the five movements depict a various places or elements in Yosemite National Park. The work utilizes various compositional techniques such as: jazz harmony, whole tone scales, polytonality, metric modulation and stereo-effect voicings. This is the complete score - (all 5 movements) with an accompanying Mp3 file. However, each movement is sold separately with the score and its 4 parts.
