Product description

Rolling Hills and Jagged Ridges for Violin and Piano is a composition in one movement of approximately twelve minutes in length. The inspiration for the piece is an imaginary landscape - rolling, green hills with the occasional stand of trees, enveloped in fogà then the fog lifts and for an instance a rugged mountain range can be seen before it disappears again in the mist. Think the Sierra Nevada in Vermontà

The composition starts out with the flowing, somewhat folksy Hills theme played by the violinà the piano joins in the development of this themeà subsequently, a more percussive one note motive enters, building up to the jarring, dissonantly chordal Ridges material. From there on, the piece moves through a series of interconnected musical segments, all based on these two main themesà they can be found - either literally of in variations thereof - throughout the piece, either as the melody, a rhythmic component or the bass line. Even in the Bach-inspired violin cadenza the top line of the arpeggios closely follows the pitches of the "Hills" theme. After an energetic ensemble unison climax, the piece briefly calms down to an airy section built on violin harmonics and a piano ostinato before making its final forceful statement. (Gernot Wolfgang)
