Music by Mark OConnor
19 pages - 45:00 minutes in length
The FIDDLE CONCERTO for violin and orchestra is Mark OConnors first orchestral score, composed when he was 31 years old in 1992-93. A few years later it was recorded for Warner Bros. The recording featured the Concordia Orchestra with Marin Alsop conducting and the composer as violin soloist. The recording was named by the BMG Classical Catalog as one of the top ten classical recordings of 1995. The composition was reviewed by a distinguished panel of composers and was awarded a "Meet The Composer" grant for another original concerto by OConnor. Beginning with the premiers in 1993, and including the subsequent performances into 1999, the year of this publication, "The FIDDLE CONCERTO" has received more performances with orchestra than any other violin concerto composed in the last 50 years. The music is suited for advanced levels and the slow second movement can be appropriate for intermediate.
