Listening

Angel Music: 3. Joy for violin and piano

"Angel Music" is inspired by the folk songs in my Christmas cantata Shepherds and Angels. The three movements expand on the instrumental moments of the cantata. You can probably tell that this is a virtual-instrument demo. It needs a premiere! Violinists, let me know if you're interested. I generally like to have a first performance before I publish a piece. Read more in my blog; there are links to demos of the other movements too.
