When electric guitar meets violin
 |
| Steven Mackey |
"Steven Mackey proved that electric instruments need not overwhelm acoustic
ones with Four Iconoclastic Episodes, his 2009 piece for violin,
electric guitar and string orchestra. Mackey’s guitar duelled and
danced with Anthony Marwood’s violin in an enchanting score that manages to
suggest the rhetoric of popular music – repeated chords; simple
harmony – with the means of classical without compromising the
latter."
