Our Music
We play an eclectic range of music - our repertoire
includes early music, an arrangement of an organ piece by Boellmann,
pieces by Debussy, Ravel, Granados, contemporary piece by the American
composer (and former member of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet) Andrew
York and the Welsh composer Daniel Jones, a Latin American piece and a
jazz piece in 7/8, this being played primarily using harmonics.
More recently we have introduced subtle vocal
accompaniment and some pieces using electric guitar
As there are very few original compositions for large
guitar ensembles or orchestras, Peter Rueffer's arrangements make up
the bulk of our performance repertoire. Peter is an excellent arranger,
and his skills have been recognised by the Kirklees Guitar Competition
judges who have awarded him the arrangers' prize in two consecutive
competitions (1998 & 2000).
Samples of our music can be heard on the Our CD page and
these CDs are available for purchase. You can also access and use our
music via the podcast logo on the home page.
Please contact us if you are
interested in our repertoire and would like more information.
The following is a list of much of the music we have
played in concert in recent years.
