FOR SYDNEY HARBERG (11441680 ) (Viola Solos )
For Sydney is a Lullaby and Dance named for the composer's young daughter, and one can hear the household calm followed by the burst of spirited exuberance in these paired movements. Part of Harberg's special palette is the simultaneous strength of musical structure along with boisterous fun. For Sydney is a tour de force in blending these traits, while remaining idiomatic for the violist. For advanced violists.
