      The Rite Of The Nocturnal Nilinog

      This is an original composition by Jonathan Reeves for solo classical guitar that I wrote in December of 2008. I wanted to create a twisted, dissonant, disjunct piece that portrays the ritual dance of a fictional Goblin type character in the deep dark forest under the moonlight.It is an interesting piece. This composition is in three parts:A. Jagged dance like rhythmsB. Melody played using natural harmonicsC. Percussion (crossing strings over one another)A. Recapitulation of section A to bring closure.You can print out this composition for free on my website and play it yourself!http://web.mac.com/jonreeves18
