Kaldalóns: Ave Maria for Violin and Piano.

This is a beautiful melody by the composer Sigvaldi Kaldalóns. This is a catchy, melancholy and very sentimental melody. 

Sigvaldi Kaldalóns (Stefánsson) (13 January 1881 - 28 July 1946) was an Icelandic composer and doctor. Unlike the avant-garde composers of his day, he wrote in a traditional romantic style and composed many of Iceland's most famous and widely performed songs, many of which are now wrongly assumed to be folk songs. His particular skill was in capturing the spirit of poems in his melodies, making him Iceland's foremost lyric composer.

The arrangement written here for violin and piano was based on Víkingur Ólafsson's beautiful interpretation. Now,  you can play it in a variety of settings, from weddings to religious services to recitals. 

This wonderful piece by Kaldalóns is a must-have in your duo repertoire, and you will be enchanted by the beauty of the music and the intense emotions it can evoke. 

I hope you enjoy the arrangement, designed exclusively for violin solo and piano accompaniment. The Piano is based exactly on Víkingur Ólafsson's interpretation.
