Just Before it Snows by Houston Dunleavy

Score and part

Viola and piano, c.6'30
The music around the articulation of the chords is constantly changing, and the viola part seems to extemporize freely over it, though it has a definite formal plan in its registral and rhythmic development. Composed 2009.
