Three Pieces for Guitar and Strings

Three Pieces for Guitar and Strings was commissioned by the Woodstock Strings—Patrick Burroughs (conductor)—and Ray Sealey, with funds from the Ontario Arts Council. It is a conventional three-movement work (fast-slow-fast) written for a professional guitarist and a community orchestra. It is challenging but not unusually difficult. It was premiered March 7, 1982 at the Woodstock Secondary School Auditorium in Woodstock Ontario and received a warm response from a large mixed audience.
