Schott — Brother — Violin and Viola Score

Brother is an intimate duet for violin and viola in four movements.

Throughout the piece the two instruments are very closely intertwined. Their colours fuse and coalesce. Together they weave patternsof sound, tracing lines that arc, overlap, dovetail and mirror one another, sometimes exchanging sounds, sometimes speaking as one voice.

The final movement was composed first, and was written in a single day while on a residency in Massachusetts in 2012. Three more movements were commissioned by London Contemporary Orchestra and premiered by Galya Bisengalieva and Robert Ames at the Roundhouse in London in 2015.

The piece is dedicated to my brothers. I look back on it now as a turning point in my approach to writing music.
