Product Description

This recently published duet for Violin and Viola (or Cello) provides a brief and tantalising glimpse of the composing genius of Sir John Manduell, best known as the founding principal of the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM).

Written in memory of Peter Crossley-Holland, a former colleague at the BBC where Sir John Manduell was founding the BBC Music Programme, this superb duet was given a first performance by Richard Howarth (Violin) and Tom Dunn (Viola) at the Bridgewater Hall in August 2002.

While a short piece, there is plenty of technical challenge in this work, with the Recitative spanning the full range octaves leading on to an Aria in 11/8, featuring muted, pizzicato, double stopping and harmonic passages. 

Click titles to hear performed by Richard Howarth (Violin) and Tom Dunn (Viola) on the album Celtic Magic.
