Commissioned by the Santa Rosa Symphony for Paul Silverthorne, principal violist of the London Symphony, the character of this grand three-movement work may best be described in the composer’s own words: “If I had to describe the character of each instrument in the orchestra, I would consider the viola to be the voice of wisdom, moderation, and prudence. However I find there is much flair and brilliance hidden beneath the surface. In my viola concerto I aimed to explore these contrasts: beauty and sweetness; agitation and angst; brilliance and virtuosity.”.

MAGIC MAZE is the perfect title for this 8-minute adventure for viola and piano. Cycling through a form loosely inspired by numerical “magic squares,” the work is a chain of variations on a 12-note series built of perfect fourths and minor thirds. Miniature versions of various characters — march, canon, barcarolle, toccata, bolero, and sarabande — weave their way through the continuous labyrinth, all based on symmetrical patterns of pitch and rhythm that continually develop and return.

Stately yet folklike, CEREMONIAL is a graceful 4-minute work in comfortable reach of intermediate students, and equally attractive for advanced and professional violists to exercise their cantabile. The slow-fast-slow form offers a cheerful dance in 3 that interrupts and recedes from a mostly-pentatonic and memorable tune.
