Unveil the expressive power of The Tranquil & Tempestuous for Viola & Piano, a neo-romantic modern masterpiece by the esteemed composer R. Roland Jelinek. Published by VirtuosiStringsPublications.com, this compelling chamber work of contrasts is a testament to the emotional range of the viola, showcasing between tranquil, lyrical passages and a rapid, tempestuous perpetual-motion. Highlighting the dramatic dissimilarity between lyrical, slow sections and exhilarating, fast-paced ones, this piece embodies the perfect blend of technical virtuosity and heartfelt musical storytelling.

Ideal for professional and advanced violists seeking a standout recital, concert work or encore piece, The Tranquil & Tempestuous challenges performers to explore vibrant dynamics and nuanced expressivity. Its rich textures and dramatically striking contrasts make it a must-have for violists passionate about contemporary repertoire with classical roots.

The Tranquil & Tempestuous for Viola & Piano

The Tranquil & Tempestuous for Viola & Piano-Excerpt

The music of Philip Glass has always held a very special place in my heart. Discovering his music was a turning point for me whilst at University. I finally had the courage to pursue writing my own music. Even though I mainly perform my own compositions now, I just can't help but return to some of my favourite pieces that brought me to where I am today. "Wichita Sutra Vortex", is one of these pieces. I hope you enjoy my performance. If you have, please be sure to like this video. Do also follow for more! I am always composing and sharing new music! Thank you!
