Sheet Music: Score & Part(s)Waltzing with Elling : for viola and piano / Diana Blom.by Diana Blom (2019)
|
Product details
Waltzing with Elling is a tribute to American jazz
singer Kurt Elling and jazz bass player Rob Amster. The waltz
seeks to capture some of the characteristics of 'The Waking', a
song for voice and double bass from the CD Nightmoves (2007),
which sets a poem by American poet Theodore Roethke.
The two-part writing and jazz idiom of 'The Wake', plus other
Elling characteristics including his improvised vocal scatting
style, have been drawn into the work. The violist is encouraged
to adopt a jazz style and to elaborate on the written score.
Waltzing also offers the viola player the opportunity to
improvise if wished from ms. 37-73 (when this section is
repeated). This is optional.
Waltzing with Elling is dedicated to Emily Bennett who
admires Elling's jazz singing and the playing of the group - as
do I and viola player, Dawn. The piece is written for Dawn
Bennett who contributed valuable bowing/articulation advice.
The piano part could be played by double bass, all pizzicato,
with appropriate transpositions to fit within the instrument's
range.
