Description
A passacaglia is a gentle stroll in triple time with a basso ostinato, which can vary.
The word is an Italian term based on the Spanish words pasar and calle, indicating a walk down a street.
The basso ostinato with its harmonic progressions is based on a sketch which David Warin Solomons wrote back in 1973.
This version for guitar solo, arranged by Aaron Larget-Caplan is the latest of many versions (organ solo, flute sextet, flute and guitar, flute and strings)
