Steve Laven, cellist with the Boston Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, contacted me a month ago and asked if I would be interested in writing a work to help celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the founding of the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra. I said, "Sure!!!" He said it would be nice if I would consider a "concerto grosso" in which the principal players of the orchestra would each get a feature. I agreed that that would be a fine idea.

So, on June 18th, 2017, I started working on it. And since I am on summer vacation from teaching I was able to finished the 557-measure work on July 2nd, fifteen days after I started.

In 2018 just before I made plans to get the work recorded I made some revisions. One major change was that I cut the fourth movement out completely. It is now a mere 482 measures long.

The work is now in three movements.

1. Introduction; Allegro
2. Presto
3. Largo

Duration: ca. 17 minutes.
