La Catedral Sumergida for Flute and Guitar

“A perfect recital choice!”
This substantial and unusual piece is really interesting. Adding a flute part to existing guitar classics takes the music in a completely different direction, and Stephen Goss, a renowned guitarist and composer, has crafted the flute lines to really enhance the originals. The opening is expressive with a meandering and beguiling flute melody that twists a little before leading seamlessly into a vigorous and overtly Spanish Allegretto. This full of cascading flute runs and virtuoso flourishes putting the flute firmly centre stage. Imaginative and great to play, this would be a real talking point in any recital programme.
From the Publisher
I have added a flute part to two well-known solo guitar pieces in B minor – Fernando Sor’s Etude Op. 35, No. 22 and the final movement from La Catedral by Agustín Barrios Mangoré – Allegro Solemne. The guitarist plays the Sor and Barrios pieces in their original form, while the flautist superimposes my new material. La Catedral Sumergida was commissioned by Emily Andrews and Francisco Correa for an album of my collected flute and guitar music (Deux-Elles, 2025). The first performance took place at the Michael Tippett Centre, Bath Spa University, 2nd May 2024. - Stephen Goss
