39 Solos-America's Legend Fiddler-Transcribed and edited by one of Herman Johnson's former students this book offers 39 solos in the inimitable smooth precise and innovative Johnson style. Inspired in his youth by Bob Willis of the TexasPlayboys Johnson learned tunes by listening to records and the radio. At 16 he successfully auditioned to play in Willis' band but was then too young to join the musicians union. Johnson went on to adistinguished career as a performer and contest fiddler winning the National Fiddling Championship in Weiser Idaho five times the only player to reign undefeated each year he entered the contest. He also won the Grand MastersChampionship in Nashville. Many of the intermediate to advanced-level selections in this collection were drawn from Johnson's 1993 recording Simply Perfect.

The Composer writes: 'In February 1987 I saw in the Tate Gallery in London a painting by the Victorian English painter John William Waterhouse. The painting kept haunting my memory and as I at the same time planned to write a piece for solo Viola my ideas for the music and the memory of the painting fused more and more. I decided then to let my piece borrow the title of Waterhouse’s painting: The Lady Of Shalott. The picture of a mad-like pale and perhaps singing woman alone in a boat without sculls which calmly slips out from the rush growth of the river is an illustration for the ending of Alfred Tennyson’s poem by the same title which again plaits into theold English legends about King Arthur. My piece tries to meander - like the river at Camelot - among these sources.' As suggested above the piece was originally written for Viola solo. This version for String Quartet is from 1993.
