Cavatine - Sheet Music for viola + piano Carson P. Cooman

Cavatina (2008) for viola and piano is dedicated to Sarah Darling and Jeffrey Grossman. The score is
also inscribed in memory of American composer Donald Erb (1927&ndash,2008).
Cavatina (noun, Italian)

a simple song or melody, properly one without a second part or a repeat, an air.
This atmospheric work is marked "Very slow, very sad, dream-like." The landscape is resonant and
colorful, as if fragments of a distant song try to assert themselves and then vanish as wisps.
