WEST COAST DOWN - a new composition for violin and piano

My daughter has been playing the violin for many years now…..I think she was about 4 years old when she started. 2019 will see her doing the HSC and music will be one of her subjects. A couple of months ago she asked if I would write a piece of music for her to play in the exam - a music teacher or two had suggested that this would be a good idea!

I set about the task…..grabbed a musical motif that was hanging around in my head, sat down in front of the computer and slowly assembled WEST COAST DOWN.

I have recorded the music - the violin is beautifully played by Bronwyn Harrowsmith and I played the piano. In time I will make another recording with my daughter playing it.
