R. Murray Schafer (1933-2021)

Guitar Concerto (1989)

A note from the composer:

"Written for Norbert Kraft, the Guitar Concerto consists of
six short movements, played without a break. While writing
the work I was conscious of the Fibonacci number series by
which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers,
thus: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55.... This series affected the shaping
of the piece to a certain extent and can be sensed immediately in
the guitar line of the opening toccata. [...]"
