David Frankel: Therefore I cry (Music of Giuliani)

Siciliano - Mauro Giuliani guitar concerto Upon hearing this Siciliano for the first time live in Jerusalem I was left in tears. I was then at the beginning of my guitar studies, and I felt so complete when two years later I got to perform it myself, nowhere else then in Jerusalem. The lamenting beginning of this piece brings a verse to my mind, from the book of Lamentations, "for these things I weep". על אלה אני בוכיה When I studied it I developed an image that this piece moves from grieving, to dreaming, and ultimately to a sense of acceptance and integration opening up a new path.
