Product Description

Original Composition Violin Duet Level 4
Duration: Approx. 3 minutes

Music of a Forgotten People is a dramatic and expressive work for two violins, ideal for advanced middle school, high school, or college-level players. Commissioned by The Cleveland Composers Guild as part of its Creativity: Learning Through Experience program, this piece was premiered by violinist Grace Watters and her teacher Stephen Sims at The Music Settlement in Cleveland, Ohio.

The piece begins with a slow, searching dialogue between the two violins each vying for control and builds to a lively, folk-style jig that bursts with rhythmic energy and character. The result is a dynamic concert work that balances technical challenge with emotional nuance.

Perfect for:
Student-teacher or peer duet performances
Recitals, festivals, and competitions
Ensembles seeking engaging original repertoire
Programs featuring American or folk-inspired themes

Includes full score and individual parts. Suitable for intermediate to advanced players.
