Three Pieces for Viola and Piano

"Song", "Pastorale", "Prelude, Meditation, and Fugue” "The prominent violist Brett Deubner, asked me for some short program fillers for an upcoming recital in 2010. Otherwise engaged at the time, I quickly arranged two earlier pieces. About a year after doing the arrangements, Brett requested a more substantial original piece. I hadn't composed a fugue in years, so decided to conclude the new piece with one." -composer Paul Somers
