This concerto was composed for my good friend Giovanni De Chiaro, and was commissioned by the Shreveport Summer Music Festival, where it premiered. The title "Concierto de Chiaro" is one with multiple meanings and combines words of Spanish and Italian origins. First, of course, it is a homage to John's name, but chiaro also means light in Italian, and indeed the work has a certain feeling of light and lightness to it, as one would experience on a walk through a forest on a sunny day. There is a hint of Spanish style within the music as well, which is my way of reflecting the great connection between Spanish culture and the history of the guitar. The piece has been performed with numerous orchestras, and John and I recorded it with the London Symphony Orchestra in January of 2017 for the Centaur label.
