Concerto In E Minor for Guitar and String Orchestra

For your consideration, a little chamber concerto I wrote in 1998, and almost forgot I had written until I found it in a closet in 2016!

Thinking if performed, should be 3 1st, 3 2nd, 2 Vla, 2 vc, 1 db, so guitar could be heard better, but I would be open to full string orchestra, and guitar amplified!

Really, I COULD turn this into a piano concerto, with single winds, two horns and trumpet without too much strain, but not now!

Only said it offhand, but I am always torturing myself and inadvertently coming up with a pretty major project!  Within ten minutes, I am THERE with my piano concerto idea!  Concerto in E Minor for Piano and Chamber Orchestra!  Lot of work, but the music is there already.  Arrange guitar part for piano, wind doubling, and I can already think of what to do with the two horns and trumpet.  Add tympani...

Yeah; I'm doin' it, and probably would have a greater effect as a piano concerto.  As a guitar concerto, would either have to be a very small string orchestra, or guitar amplified!

...and our local orchestra, Northern Neck Orchestra, and a local pianist could probably handle it, so there's that...

Very NeoBaroque.

Oh Yes.😉

Guess I am basically a Neoclassical composer, with some Romanticism no stronger than Brahms, Mendelssohn, or Rachmaninoff.  Strange how the Baroque slips in; can't explain it myself!
