I wrote my first work for the guitar in 1996 for my friend and composer colleague, Simon Barber. Over the past 15 years I have written numerous other works for the guitar with Simon in mind - most significantly my sonata of 2003. It was Simon's editing and notation of this sonata in 2011 that encouraged me to create this new work using the sonata as the starting point musically, as well as incorporating it as the final movement.

I - prelude
II - gigue
III - etude
IV - sarabande
V - sonata

The Suite for guitar is dedicated to Simon Barber, who graciously edited to assist playability and provided the fingerings included.
