about
Six Miniatures for solo viola
I was introduced to the Scottish poet David Cameron in 2018, and was immediately struck by the innate musicality of his poetry. In fact, his poems have inspired me to make both vocal and instrumental settings. I was already, at about this time, beginning to explore the art of the unaccompanied melody, and when I realized what a wealth of melodic inspiration lay awaiting discovery in these lines of poetry, I began setting them in earnest.
The Six Miniatures for solo viola are, in fact, all based on Cameron's poetry, with the viola soloist, in effect, playing the role of reciter. The six original poems are titled 1. Landscape 2. Evening 3. Conjure You 4. For Winter 5. A Blessing and 6. Gifts.

I love this album. My students are confused by it at the beginning as I play it with my office door open, but they wind up getting curious. I also introduced one to "Just Constellations," and they were mesmerized. Way to go, RoT!

Tiny Holes sounds intriguing. Looking forward to the full drop. Will there be a vinyl release as well? You can count me in if so.

I have been entranced by Caroline Davis's music since the Wonderful Heart Tonic. Then the beautiful Anthems, followed by this swirling masterpiece. Also just picked up Live Work & Play. Caroline Davis is THE jazz musician to watch.

A cycle of 9 duets, “Isolario” is by turns intricate, sparse, mysterious, and moving.
