Summary of this sheet music
Written between Christmas and the first days of January at the request of American guitarist Stephen Robinson, After Christmas Feeling is set in a very particular atmosphere: that of the "day after the party." Roland Dyens cultivates a contrasting emotion here, made of faded cheerfulness, nostalgia, and that "sad clown smile" tinged with blues that makes the piece so endearing.
The music freely navigates from one mood to another, like a succession of familiar greetings-hello, good evening, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year-with an apparent simplicity that conceals a true work of color and phrasing. To achieve this, Dyens proposes a scordatura : the 6th string is tuned to D, while the 5th is tuned to B-flat. This choice, sometimes intimidating at first, offers the guitar a different harmonic palette and an unusual resonance, ideal for expressing that post-event feeling when the sparkle fades and the emotion remains.
True to his guitar writing, the composer specifies that all indications are carefully written and rewritten so that this unconventional tuning remains accessible and musical, even during practice. This classical guitar sheet music is intended for level 4 musicians wishing to work on expressiveness, mood transitions, and timbre exploration. A great idea to complement a winter repertoire, and why not make it a musical ritual at the end of December, "next to a beautiful Christmas tree."
