Composed by James F. Babcock. Contemporary. 53 pages. James Babcock #6065421. Published by James Babcock (A0.1017142).TRAVELS ABROAD – Piano accompaniment only. 35 pgs. (Violin part. 15 pgs. Sold separately SO.876523) Four intermediate to advanced violin solos for instruction and performance. With piano accompaniments. Each of the four pieces is available separately on SMP.
(1) AMBIENTE DE TABERNA. (SO.876359) A difficult recital showpiece with dramatic Spanish themes evoking the "ambience of a tavern" and its flamenco dancers.
(2) ORENSKI IN BUCHAREST. (SO.876509) Of intermediate difficulty, the piece honors a Rumanian refugee who created a leading novelties business in the U.S. and introduced the composer to vexillology-flag study-as a hobby.
(3) TO VODKA. (SO.876513) Of intermediate difficulty, this set of variations becomes progressively more hectic and ends with a burp. In an otherwise serious recital, it can serve as an entertaining interlude. But not for playing while inebriated.
(4) O AMIGO DA ONÇA. (SO.876507) A difficult concert showpiece. Modernistic, it evokes the Brazilian jungle and its tiger, the onça. The title refers to a classic Brazilian anecdote: A man is explaining how to escape from a tiger and his friend keeps presenting obstacles to be overcome, to which the man in frustration finally exclaims, "Hey! Are you my friend or the friend of the tiger?!" The piece has a few obstacles of its own.
"Your compositions are charming and melodic, useful both for training and performance."-Thomas Lindsay, former concertmaster, Virginia Beach Symphony and New Jersey Pops.
