About

The composer comments, "Melancholia is a very straightforward little piece and is a meditation on loneliness … I was mindful of the guitar's intimate qualities which help to convey an introspective mood."

Melancholia was commissioned by Suzanne Court and first published in 1991 by Pro Arte Publications in the collection Guitar Aotearoa, edited by Suzanne Court and Milton Parker. Re-published in 2018 by Hatchet Music Ltd, edited by Matthew Marshall.
