One of my most standout large-scale works, Magical Miniatures is a substantial concert piece for two violas! Consisting of 26 short movements, this 42-minute epic is the centerpiece for your viola duo concert. Take the audience on a fantastical journey through epic landscapes, such as mountain, forest, and clouds; introduce them to memorable characters including bunnies, mermaids, and unicorns; and experience unforgettable musical adventures together!
The 26 movements each feature unique viola techniques or compositional strategies, giving each one a unique sound! Explore a wide variety of scales and harmonies and execute a spectrum of extended techniques to bring this story to life.
Composed in 2021, this piece was premiered by me and violist Molly Wise, my wife, at a concert we performed for my grandma’s retirement community- click here to listen to that performance. See a photo of us playing below!
