A bit livelier than Morpheus, my composition alludes to some of its themes and pays homage to it, yet establishes its own musical landscape. For viola and piano. Includes the score and viola part. Suggested for advanced players. Duration: 7:15. Composed in 2017. Copyright 2017 Dosia McKay / Gavia Music (ASCAP).
