{"product_id":"macmillan-james-macmillan-9781835680803","title":"Macmillan: Violin Concerto No. 2 Hps 1815 Study Score","description":"(Boosey \u0026amp; Hawkes Scores\/Books). Composed in 2021 and dedicated to the soloist Nicola Benedetti, this work was written as a memorial tribute to the Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, who died the previous year and was a major musical influence on the composer, particularly during his formative creative years. MacMillan writes, \"One of the co-commissioners for Violin Concerto no 2 was Polish and I was keen that there be some acknowledgment of the late Penderecki in some way in the new work. I was happy to oblige with a dedication to a composer I have greatly admired from an early age.\" He describes creating a new work for Nicola Benedetti: \"I've worked with Nicola on her recording of the Mendelssohn concerto and on tour with her on the Mozart G Major concerto, and have absorbed a lot from these experiences. I composed From Ayrshire for her some years ago which is a short piece that can be performed with either piano or small orchestral accompaniment. I also wrote a short work for her and some singers of The Sixteen for the very first Cumnock Tryst festival in 2014. All this has been important in the way I have built my relationship with Nicola, and in my approach for this concerto.\" Adopting a more compact format than MacMillan's first violin concerto from 2009, the second employs a medium-sized orchestra and plays continuously in a single through-composed movement of 25 minutes' duration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1835680801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781835680803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boosey \u0026amp; Hawkes Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.25h x 7.25w x 0.25d","brand":"James MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447985254655,"sku":"9781835680803","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43d44c73-0cde-49c1-8824-af0c8e50daef.jpg?v=1777236131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/macmillan-james-macmillan-9781835680803","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
