The Summer Garden Suite for two guitars was composed by Brazilian guitarist and composer Sergio Assad in 1997. The piece was premiered by the Assad Brothers, Sergio and Odair, in the same year. The suite consists of four movements, each of which is inspired by a different aspect of a summer garden. The first movement, "Fountains," is a lively and rhythmic piece that evokes the sound of water flowing from a fountain. The second movement, "Flowers," is a slower and more contemplative piece that captures the beauty and fragility of a garden's flowers. The third movement, "Birds," is a playful and virtuosic piece that imitates the sounds of birds chirping and flying around the garden. The final movement, "Butterflies," is a fast and energetic piece that captures the fluttering and darting movements of butterflies. The Summer Garden Suite is characterized by its use of Brazilian rhythms and harmonies, as well as its intricate and virtuosic guitar writing. The piece showcases Assad's skill as a composer and arranger, as well as his deep understanding of the guitar as an instrument. The suite has become a popular work in the guitar repertoire and is frequently performed by guitar duos around the world.
