This blog is about new music for classical guitar. It is for guitarists who compose, guitarists looking for new music to play, and enthusiastic listeners of new music for guitar. Additionally, composers who have not yet written for guitar will find resources to help them bring their creative ideas to life, and a community of guitarists who will appreciate their creative efforts.
The blog will include interviews with guitarists and composers, reviews of web sites and other resources of interest, and reviews of books about composing. I’ll post reflections on the music of guitarist/composers of the past, such as Fernando Sor and Francesco Tarrega, and reflections on the music of other historically important composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederic Chopin. I’ll introduce my new compositions though the blog, and create posts about music by other composers. In short, any topic related to composing, playing, and listening to new music on guitar may be included.
I’ve always enjoyed performing and teaching in community and this blog is to create a community built around composing and playing new music on the classical guitar. I hope the blog takes on a life of its own, and the direction it takes grows out of a dialog between what I write, and points of interest generated by readers and their comments.
