Guitar Concerto

I started this thread to try to find out if there is a Guitar Concerto out there somewhere

I have looked and looked but I still can't find one

Somebody Help!

What about that piece the boy played in the final of Young Musician of the Year 2006? (if you saw it) I can't remember what it was called though... I remember it sounded nice! I could try and look it up for you.

Rodrigo's are very famous. The most famous one is the Concierto de Aranjuez.

There are many many concertos for guitar... Well, not as many as there are for violin or piano, perhaps, but quite a few! Just doing a google search for "guitar concerto" brings up quite a few pages.

Why didn't I think of that in the first place......

While I'm not the person who said that, I find that I'm faster working by hand than on a computer, because when I compose on a computer I tend to waste endless amounts of time listening and adjusting minute details rather than thinking about the big picture...

If you like modern stuff, try Richard Rodney Bennett's Guitar Concerto. It's a pretty neat piece. Other than that, there's always Rodrigo, and other names I'm forgetting now...!

Try wikipedia... they have a very, very, very, very BIG list of piano, violin, and even viola concertos.... These things are gigantic.... It might help.
