A Silly Horse was written in 1981 for the composer’s wife, the Russian acclaimed soprano Tatiana Melentieva. She gave the first American performance of the piece at the Ohio State University (Columbus, OH) in 1991. The present version for voice and guitar was authorized by the composer who actively supervised the transcription process. A Silly Horse is not merely a musical composition for voice and an accompanying instrument. It is a multi-media work, lasting some 70 minutes, which involves music, story-telling, poetry, theater and even choreography. The score contains detailed instructions, prescribed by the composer himself and adapted for the guitar, regarding all performance aspects of this work. A complete performance of A Silly Horse is a mesmerizing experience where time becomes suspended and the magic of a child’s fancy takes over.
