Product details

Invocation to Dance is a piece for solo violin. It is all about sudden and spontaneous passion. It is a fantasy for solo violin that is rich with melodic intensity. There is harmonic progression imbedded in the wide-ranging contour of the single line. It is characterised by sudden sforzando outbursts followed by lyrical responses. These contrasts evoke the ambiguity of mixed emotion and combined with the rhythmic accentuations that ensue, expressive and interpretive dance is not far away.

The piece was originally inspired by an Aboriginal dance that took place outside the Sydney Opera House on new years day 2013. I enjoyed the passion and drama in the way the dancers moved.
