Walter Ross~ Concerto for Violin and Orchestra |
|
This work is my fourteenth concerto and I wrote it to be recorded by Master Musician's Collective. It is dedicated to the violinist Svend Ronning who performed its premiere in Prague in October, 1997 and made a recording.
The concerto is in three movements, Fantasia, Blue Nocturne, and Badinage. It is scored for woodwinds and brass in pairs, timpani, 3 percussion, piano, solo violin, and strings, and is twenty-five minutes long. The harmonic and melodic language of the work is modal/pandiatonic and the outer movements are energetically rhythmic.
This work is available from the composer.
This work has not yet been recorded professionally. For information on borrowing tapes of concert performances or rehearsals, please contact the composer at:
