Works Written for Julian Bream

JulianBreamGuitar.com

This page is dedicated to compositions written for Julian Bream to perform. Early in Julian Bream's career, some of the works were written enthusiastically by composers in hopes that the gifted young performer would play them on stage. At times Julian's father, Henry, would request pieces on behalf of his son in hopes that Julian could represent contemporary European composers for the guitar and build a repertoire that was distinct from the one being played by Andrés Segovia. Once Julian was an established performer, he would, at times, politely drop hints to composers such as "Have you ever considered writing for the box?" or he would formally make a commission for a composer to write a specific guitar composition either for solo or concerto. Sometimes the pieces were written and dedicated to Julian Bream but oftentimes they were written for Bream but dedicated to someone else. Most of the pieces written for Julian Bream were performed at least once on stage and he usually reserved the right to give the first performance. Some of these pieces were not only performed by Julian Bream but were also recorded for release on one of his many LP recordings. There are a small number of pieces that Bream, for whatever reason, decided never to record or perform.
