My Sweet Latin Lover II for Amplified Flute, Electric Guitar and Live Electronics
From the Publisher
The composer calls My Sweet Latin Lover an 'ironic and tender homage to love - and its pitfalls...'. An 'unpleasant idyll that ... intelligently continues Zappa's legacy' (Süddeutsche Zeitung). Sometimes tender and mild, sometimes fast and evil - these are some of the performance instructions -, the duet partners weave an introverted braid of sound which is occasionally broken up by jagged attacks. The flute also whispers short texts by Iris ter Schiphorst, Thomas More and William Blake ('The Sick Rose') into the amplifier microphone. The 2002 Musica viva concert series in Munich saw the world premiere of the original version with keyboard, 4 percussionists and 5 electric guitars, to which the composer added this 'more manageable' version that same year.
Performance duration (approx): 10'00
