CONCERTO FOR GUITAR (Wind Ensemble or Chamber Orchestra) Richard J. Smoot "It's baroque brevity belies the richness of the music which has a cool oriental palette of Japanese scales and motifs giving the piece a broad vision that is often evocative. As a composer / guitarist, Smoot knows the subtle modulations that suit his instrument and there are hints of Villa-Lobos in some of the thematic treatments. The third movement, with its pounding march-like theme is a fitting conclusion to a compact and lively concerto." Tim Panting, Classical Guitar magazine Listen to Smoot's Chamber Concerto in Windows Media Player This concerto is written in an accessible style and retains the traditional three-movement form.
