Meditation and Processional
This work for Viola and Piano is a perfect piece to introduce talented students to music written for the viola that explores its full range in Romantic style. The Meditation is beautiful and intense music that will challenge students on a different expressive level than the traditional Baroque literature - but it is very accessible technically. A must in your teaching repertoire for serious viola students.

Good introduction to Bloch
Meditation is a gorgeous, richly romantic melody with dissonant chromatic inflections, in the style of Jewish chant. The cross-rhythms are difficult to match for an inexperienced student, and there are a few extremely complex spots for an unprepared player (including the end, which is perhaps best played using false harmonics, although this is not included in the part). After the wailing chromaticism of the Meditation, the straightforward modal canon of the Processional is almost refreshingly simple.The Meditation and Processional, apart from making a good recital piece, serves as a stellar introduction to Bloch's compositional voice. A more advanced student is encouraged to examine the Suite Hebraque if this is interesting, and the 1910 Suite.
