There are many children who start learning how to play the guitar, but few of them continue to practice as eagerly and enthusiastically as they do in the beginning. There are various reasons for it...
...certainly one of them is lack of time to practice due to the time consuming work for school. Whatever the reasons may be, lecturers have to find a way to arouse the interest of their pupils so that the joy of making music will prevail. Here, chamber music represents an exceptional chance because it allows one to play meaningful and complete pieces in a group with only a few technical means.
GENERAL CONDITIONS:
-- The composition has to be a free style composition with three voices for a guitar ensemble for children who have already passed the first level in learning the instrument. The composition can include an optional fourth voice, which should be suitable for students who are either above or below the general level of the other three voices.
-- All tones must be situated in the first layer of the guitar - with exception of the tone a' on the first guitar string; the composition must not have any rhythmic complexities.
-- The overall duration of the composition must be at least 3 and at most 6 minutes.
-- The composition has to be an original which has not been published so far. Plagiarism is strictly forbidden as well as compositions based on any protected composition. Also, the composition should not have received an award at any earlier competition.
-- Each composer can participate with only one composition.
-- The composition must be signed with a pseudonym; there should be no indications to the applicant's real name.

This small envelope must be clearly labelled with the pseudonym and a valid e-mail address. The e-mail address must not give any hint to the applicant's identity as either.

The decision of the jury is incontestable. Any recourse to courts of law is excluded.

The three awarded compositions are rehearsed by a special group of children and they are presented to the jury in the final concert of the “Zweite Gitarrentage für Kinder im Saarland 2010“ which is open to the public.

With this in mind we had organized the First Guitar Days for Children in Saarland 2009 under the patronage of the Saarland minister of cultural affairs. The event, which ended a few weeks ago, was far more successful than we had expected. The biggest challenge we faced in the run-up of this event was to find chamber music that was suitable for beginners and at the same time of high quality. So for this occasion we had asked the Paris based Argentinean composer Raúl Maldonado for a composition. As a result we presented us with the “Cuento del Norte “ (History from the North), a composition in three parts, for three voices and with an optional fourth voice. All other pieces were transcriptions for three voices, which were specifically prepared for this occasion.
The Second Guitar Days for Children in Saarland 2010 will take place between the 31st March and 3th of April 2010. In the context of this event, and on the basis of the demand for high quality compositions for guitar ensembles for children, we will host the International Composition Competition within the framework of the Second Guitar Days for Children in Saarland 2010.
