Farewell to You (2019/2023) 2.5'
string orchestra (violin 1, violin 2, violin 3/viola, cello/bass)
I wrote a violin waltz with violin accompaniment in 2019 as a goodbye homage to my American fiddling teacher, Matt Brown, when he moved away from Chicago. In 2023, the DuPage Youth Symphony asked me for a short work that their younger ensemble could perform, so I expanded this piece with added voices and a few extra measures. I also have a string quartet version.
