Editing Roberto Gerhard (section)

=== Selected list of works ===

Gerhard's most significant works, apart from those already mentioned, include four symphonies (the Third, ''Collages'', for orchestra and tape), the Concerto for Orchestra, concertos for violin, piano and harpsichord, the cantata ''The Plague'' (after [[Albert Camus]]), the ballets ''Pandora'' and ''Ariel'', and pieces for a wide variety of chamber ensembles, including [[Sardana]]s for the indigenous Catalan street band, the [[cobla]]. He was perhaps the first important composer of [[electronic music]] in Britain; his incidental music for the 1955 [[Stratford-on-Avon]] ''King Lear'' – one of many such commissions for the [[Royal Shakespeare Company]] – was the first electronic score for the British stage.<ref>[https://heritagequay.org/rgda/electronic-music/works-of-electronic-music/king-lear-1955/ Heritage Quay (University of Huddersfield).
