Evocations

from Cross​/​Over by Donald Bousted

about

Evocations is a concert piece for classical ukulele. As unexpected as that genre may be, the ukulele is actually an ideal instrument for playing sensitive, delicate, fingerstyle textures. At times, the instrument sounds like a classical guitar. At other times, it sounds like a harp. While originally conceived for soprano ukulele, the piece may also be played on a concert or tenor instrument, all tuned in the standard, re-entrant “high G” tuning. The slow opening and closing sections of Evocations display the singing, resonant aspect of the ukulele. They feature rolled chords, tremolo, and passionate outbursts of rasgueado (flamenco-style) strumming. The middle sections show off fast, virtuosic finger picking and also some raucous, energetic strumming. I chose the title because the piece evokes different moods and characters from moment to moment, all within the intimate world of a soloist.—Loretta K. Notareschi
