A work for solo violin and orchestra commissioned by Donald McDonald for the 21st birthday of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the 60th birthday of the composer. It was first performed in November 1993 in Glasgow by JamesClark and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra conducted by Maxwell Davies.The spell is one quoted by George Mackay Brown in his book An Orkney Tapestry: 'Let not plough be put to acre except a fiddle cross first the furrow.'Davies's dancing concerto imagines the fiddler following a route from field to field from dance to dance accompanied by a bunch of companions in the form of an orchestra. As the music goes on so it gets brighter and livelier moving from the dark colouring of clarinets bassoons and strings to full ensemble with prominent brass and (solo) tuned percussion as if the dancers as much as the fields were beginning to glow with new life.Score(miniature). Duration c. 20mins.

In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim Jelly D?Aranyi in concert in London. Following the performance Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D?Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel?s virtuoso classic ?Tzigane?. Written originally for violin and piano or luthéal (a mechanism invented in 1919 that attaches to a piano producing a sound similar to the rich overtones of the Cimbalon) the premiere took place in London in April 1924. The composer had finished the work only days beforehand. Ravel laterorchestrated ?Tzigane? and both versions remain a ?must? for music-lovers and aspiring violinists today. Jelly D?Aranyi performed both versions regularly throughout her long career. This Urtext edition presents the first scholarly-critical edition of Ravel?s masterpiece. It is published both in the orchestral version complete with full score and performance material as well as in the composer?s earlier version for violin and piano. All known sources including letters have been drawn on for the new edition; one of the available sources consulted for the first time was a copy of ?Tzigane? from the estate of Jelly D?Aranyi which is today part of a private collection. The version for piano and violin contains besides the Urtext part a second violin part as a facsimile with performance instructions by Jelly D?Aranyi. D?Aranyi?s alterations and fingering reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and performance and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. The cooperation between Ravel and D?Aranyi is comparable to that of Brahms and Joachim working on the Brahms violin concerto.First scholarly-critical Urtext edition of the work Presented are both versions: for violin and orchestra and for violin and pianoIncludes Jelly D?Aranyi?s fingering

Beethoven?s Concerto For Violin And Orchestra is one of the most famous works in the history of music. Over the last 150 years it has been published in numerous editions none of which have up to now done justice to the work. For this edition Jonathan Del Mar has freed the work of additions made over the decades by various editors and violinists. The significance of Beethoven?s solo and tutti markings has also been clarified for the first time. Following the publication of the full score Piano reduction and orchestral parts (BA 9019) in the autumn of 2009 Bärenreiter is now publishing a study score of this pioneeringcritical edition which will prove indispensible for all violinists and students as well as for orchestras and music libraries. An introduction by Beethoven expert Barry Cooper on the history of this concerto is included for the first time. Del Mar?s edition clarifies Beethoven?s solo and tutti markings for the first time.
