Traces
From the outset of his career, William Beauvais has worked with some of the finest Canadian musicians. He combines mastery of his instrument with a love for « music so new it hasn’t even been written yet. » He continues to explore new vistas for the guitar, working with actors, poets, choreographers and jazz musicians.
« Traces brings together a collection of works that celebrate the soul of the classical guitar. I have spent considerable time with all the composers represented here, collaborating, discussing and sharing musical viewpoints. Traces of Hope, Dawn Dance 2 and Interludio function as a prelude, which sets the mood for the remaining works. » -William Beauvais
