Concerto Notturno for Violin and String Orchestra

Winner of the 1976 Clarinet Choir Composition Contest sponsored by Kendor and the University of Maryland, this contemporary originalŒopens and closes with a slow, dramatic theme that contrasts beautifully with the quick (quarterŒnote = 160) and highly rhythmic midsection, where several meter changes -- 4/4, 6/8, 7/8 -- keep all players fully engaged. Duration 4:40.
