Description

This recording was conceived of as a musical equivalent to a culinary banquet. Taking the dictionary definition of banquet (‘an elaborate or extensive feast”) as a starting point, the works presented here follow a path through musical styles as one would enjoy a fine meal. A classic appetizer sets the ‘meal’ off, followed by an ‘antipasto’, two courses of ‘chef’s specials’ each full of many colours and ‘flavours’, a lighter dessert course and a rousing finale to send the listener home with a smile.

Alan Rinehart has made many contributions to the guitar world as a performer, teacher, and music editor. Completing studies at Western Michigan University and a Professional Music Training Diploma from Vancouver Community College, he studied lute repertoire and technique in London, England at the Early Music Centre with Anthony Rooley, Jakob Lindberg, Nigel North and Emma Kirkby.  From 1983 to 2003 he was a faculty member of the music schools at the University of British Columbia and Vancouver Community College
