Concert tonight!

The preparations are pretty much done, and some people say they are coming, so it should be fun to present all this new stuff tonight! Wanted to post one more sampling for people who are curious what the music will be. Of course I am going to think about Bach if writing for solo violin (I always tell my students Bach is like the Shakespeare of music, super famous because people get something out of it). In the pandemic I decided to try my hand at writing a Chaccone, and see what I could come up with. Some strange mournful chords form the basis for this (there is always a descending bass line in a Chaccone and that is always fateful and dramatic) and then it proceeds with theme and variation. Here’s a bit of it.
