Publisher Desc.  A full concerto for the advanced violin student or professional artist. A tour de force containing virtually all 20th Century styles - and with lots of Blue Ridge Mountain fiddling. An excellent piece for student soloists studying with a professional teacher. Premiered in 2003 with Swedish violinist Gregory Maytan and The Foundation Orchestra on Cinco de Mayo weekend. It is a fun piece for the general audience and is based upon folk tunes of Appalachia, including variations on "This Old Man."
