GUITAR PIECES
...............
Julian Garner has been composing instrumental solos and duos for the classical guitar (and other small ensembles) since around 2000, and continues to do so. Although he has never seriously looked into having these pieces published, and his CD releases have not been in this musical genre, the list of his publicly performed instrumental works keeps growing, and it's those that we plan to feature here. Many other pieces have been written but (as far as Julian can remember!) not yet performed. These include quite a few short studies.
He has recently decided to devote more time to guitar performance, so there may come a time when he feels ready to record some of these pieces on a proper album - but that is not a project he would take on until he has done far more live performing. His classical guitar music and playing has been inspired in some way by players and composers as diverse as JS Bach, Steve Howe, Julian Bream, Gordon Giltrap, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Nick Harper, Andres Segovia, Sir Lennox Berkeley, Steve Hackett, Graham Anthony Devine, Christopher Daly and Clifford Garner (JG's cello-playing father). Julian's brief comments appear next to the title of each piece, at the bottom of this page.
