Harvey and Gray Richard Harvey Concerto Antico for guitar and small orchestra Steve Gray Guitar Concert

Concerto Antico is a suite of tunes based on old dance and song forms from different parts of Europe. The concerto was written to celebrate the ability of my good friend John Williams in a way that would compliment and contrast with the more usual staples of the guitar repertoire. My other aim was to write a piece that would stretch John's technique by being impossible to play, yet interesting enough to be a worthwhile challenge. His imperious response to this challenge, particularly in the fifth movement, makes me thrill with delight each time I hear it.
