for solo guitar-The title of Julian Anderson s first piece for Guitar refers to a painting by Joan Miró in which the dominant element is a vivid blue. Fragments of objects can be detected: Guitar strings the orange of a Catalan barretina a smoking pipe. It is the elemental quality of the painting that Anderson was drawn to in writing Catalan Peasant With Guitar. This piece is part of a series of three pieces by Anderson relating to the colour blue (though not musically related) beginning with his Violin concerto In lieblicher Bläue and ending with Van Gogh Blue.
