SUNY Distinguished Professor James Piorkowski
SUNY Distinguished Professor James Piorkowski's composition, “Mila Rose,” written for solo classical guitar, has been published by IMD (International Music Diffusion), a music score publisher based in Paris.
"I composed this piece in 2018, a few months after my youngest granddaughter, Mila Rose, was born,” Mr. Piorkowski said. “I was in Buenos Aires at the time, and decided to incorporate rhythmic elements of the Argentine Milonga, which commonly has note groupings of 3+3+2 in each measure."
