For intermediate to advanced players and suitable for concert programming. This cross-genre collection of virtuosic works for solo violin studies pizzicato and percussive techniques as well as tango and fiddle styles.  Composer and violinist Alisa Rose is a modern musician with a versatile voice which is strengthened by the diversity of her musical background. A San Francisco Conservatory-trained violinist and chamber musician (B.M. with Camilla Wicks, M.M. in Chamber Music as a student of Bettina Mussumeli), Alisa complemented her formal violin training with extensive studies of improvisation, composing, and the rich American fiddle traditions. Her expressive voice and stylistic fluidity has been featured in ensembles that encompassed her love of both roots music and classical chamber music, including the modern-folk ensemble Real Vocal String Quartet (U.S. Department of State Cultural Ambassadors), classical crossover stars Quartet San Francisco (Grammy-nominated), bluegrass band 49 Special (Rockygrass Band Contest Winners), and in her current contemporary roots duo, Scroggins & Rose (Freshgrass Album Fund Awardees).  As a composer, Alisa Rose blends American folk techniques with classical concert forms. This style can be heard on her album of cross-genre virtuoso works for solo violin entitled Fiddle Caprices and Pizzicato Pieces as well as many of her compositions for Real Vocal String Quartet including So it Goes and Slacker Ridge.

Violin Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.980422 Composed by Gary Noland. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary,Standards. 8 pages. Freeland Publications #3238261. Published by Freeland Publications (A0.980422). Duration: ca. 6 minutes. The full score is available for purchase at SMP Press. Review: ...My dictionary gives three definitions of 'Intermezzo,' also the name of a world premiere for violin and piano, Reiko Nishioka on violin and the composer, Gary Noland, on piano.  Included are the words 'light character.'  If so, the piece has intercalary intermezzos of its own smoothly segued between sections of sophisticated sobriety-or vice-versa.  I's a romantic romp, rhythmically robust yet melodically flirting with the nostalgia of cabaret, minus the sleazy diminution of spilled drinks and smelly ashtrays. Its elegance recalls Elgar, and the serious sides, a synthesis of those strange bedfellows Schubert and Ives. Composers hate it when their music reminds you of someone else's, but writing within a tradition, Noland has incorporated divergent styles that, woven together, work. Cosmopolitan without snobbery, it's intelligent, pleasurable and convincing.-Rocky Leplin, Music Critic, The Berkeley Voice
