Birthday Piece No. 12 for Viola d'amore and Piano

April 17, 2020

This is the last in a set of twelve "Birthday Pieces" for viola d'amore and piano. I began this set with a fifty-measure-long piece when I turned fifty, and wrote a new "Birthday Piece" each April, adding one measure per year. This year I decided to celebrate the end of the set (along with my sixty-first birthday) by adding eleven more measures to the final piece. You can find the music on this page of the IMSLP, and you can listen to a computer-generated recording here.

Click here to see all twelve, and here for a PDF. They are all available for free (but they do all require work to learn).

And you can find a transcription for violin and piano on the same page of the IMSLP, and listen to it here.
