Description
John W. Duarte (1919-2004) was a British guitarist, composer, and music journalist. Having received a degree in Chemistry, his fascination with the endless possibilities of the Guitar caused him to abandon science in favour of music. Despite having never formally studied music, he is regarded as one of the foremost composers for Guitar of the 20th century.
His English Suite No. 4 was composed for Flute (or Recorder) and Guitar, and published in 1979 as his opus 82. Scored in three movements, it makes use of traditional English folksongs: All in a Garden Green/The Rambling Sailor - Scarborough Fair - The Two Magicians.
