String Tunes CD

Description

Get your copy of String Tunes, our debut CD of works by Buffalo-based composer Caroline Mallonee.

“I began String Tunes while in residence at the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire in 2006. I wanted to have music to share with the other artists-in-residence, so I started making music for myself to play on the violin. At the end of my residency, I presented a recital for my fellow colonists; this was the first performance of some of the String Tunes. Composing these pieces was unusually visceral for me — it was about the feel of the violin, the fingers on the fingerboard, natural harmonics, open strings, and easy double stops. It was about having fun with finger patterns. Notating the pieces came after I had worked them out on the instrument. I have since added many more solos, a few duos and trios and one quartet.”  —Caroline Mallonee
