At the beginning of the lockdown due to the horrible Coronavirus pandemic, I came across a wonderful young Spanish classical guitar player named Merce Font who was doing all that she could to help guitar players worldwide cope with the lockdown.
I thought that her efforts should be rewarded so I wrote a suite of three guitar pieces called Quarantine for her as thanks. Little did I realise at the time that she would fall in love with the pieces and make a commercial recording of them. Although we have never met, we have collaborated very closely in the production of this recording and preparation of the score which was published by Marchione Music Editions on 3rd July 2020.
