About this item
The Viola Air
is a heartfelt love song in the form of a long arching lament, built
around a simple and passionate theme woven through the strings. The
principal idea is first heard on the solo viola and passes through to
the violins and then a solo cello before slowly building towards a
climactic statement about half way through. The music then subsides
leaving the theme exposed in a more relaxed setting before arriving at
its conclusion in quiet, calm suspension. (Paul Carr)
It was written for and is dedicated to Peter Sulski.
A version for viola with a piano reduction is available; catalogue
number GM036.
There are also versions of this work for string orchestra without
soloist (GMCO080) and also for full orchestra (GMCO081).
