Just want to make you aware that I am accompanying for a violin recital this next week. On Tuesday (9/9) I will be collaborating with my friend Meg Johnson. As you can see on the poster below, Meg will be playing a sacred violin solo that I wrote a few years back entitled “Fairest Lord Jesus.” Originally for viola, I re-transcribed it for violin. It is a beautiful arrangement that lends itself easily to weddings and other special occasions.
The other pieces in the program are as follows: Allegretto from Sonata No. 15 in B-flat Major, K.454 by Mozart; very zippy, it took several practices before it finally came together. Violin Concerto No. 2, Op.63, mvt. 2 by Prokofiev; this piece is so cool, it’s an orchestral reduction so there’s lots of impossible passages but other than that it’s great piece. And finally, Scottish Fantasy, Op. 46, mvt.2 by Bruch, another allegro piece that turns the piano into an orchestra. My sacred solo will close the recital.
Brian,
I am sure that this recital went budafully well. I wish, wish, wish that I could have been there to listen. Were there any recordings made? Hear from you soon. Love you muchly, mom
The Lord was so good to us! Brian did a beautiful job on the piano and with the hymn arrangement; many people told me that “Fairest Lord Jesus” was their favorite piece.
