| Description: Written as a tribute to a young violist, the viola part remains prominent throughout. Three distinct sections in C Major, a minor, and G Major offer interest to all sections of the orchestra. Following a stately opening, the lively middle section is based on the Scottish fiddle tune Highlander’s Farewell and follows standard repetitions for fiddle tunes (ABABAB form) with increasing excitement and tempo. |
