Mason: Duo for Violin & Viola (Score & Part)

Premiered at Brigham Young University and comissioned by Duo Novae, Los Angeles composer Todd Mason wrote his Duo for Violin & Viola in 2023. Mason says: “The Duo was a chance to explore the wide range of textures, harmonic worlds and emotions of just one violin & one viola. This piece spans many energy states with a kind of Bartókian chromaticism mixed with a bit of an East Indian feel in some sections. The work is in one-movement and keeps driving forward from the first notes to the end!” This piece was recently admitted into the prestigious William Primrose International Archive at Brigham Young University.
