Hatzlacha Rabbah!!!!

An innovative new work for Viola Piano by composer George N. Gianopoulos...he writes: "My Op. 23, Hatzlacha Rabbah!!!, was written as a graduation present for two friends and colleagues, Ariana Solotoff and Jenni Seo. Using Ms. Solotoff’s Jewish heritage as a vehicle for inspiration, I crafted Hebraic-tinged folk melodies and embraced the harmonic language and accompanimental patterns to capture the character of the ancient Israelite. As these two very talented violists embarked on their journey to Julliard for undergraduate studies, I wanted to wish them the best of luck and named the piece after the Hebrew phrase 'Hatzlacha Rabbah,' translated "Too Much Success." I quickly re-arranged the work to the very practical and effective viola and piano combination."
